I've had a 2 axis Shooting Star dro on my mill for maybe 8 or 9 years. Hasn't missed a beat. I thought the rack might get cuttings in it and skip or something along those lines, all they use is a section of split plastic loom for a cover but its never been an issue, and trust me my house keeping is about as bad as it gets. The measurements are as accurate as I can measure and repeatability is good. The only negative I could give is, there is no memory on the head, shut it off and it re-zero's. This may have been resolved with the head they use now.
I'd give it a thumbs up

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
