    Anyone know an affordable 3 axis DRO for X2 mill?

    I have a harbor freight x2 mill. I was wondering if anyone knows an affordable recommended 3 axis DRO?

    Thanks

    I don't know if it gets much more affordable than thedrostore. As far as recommended goes, I've read good things but I'll let you know when I get mine installed.

    Thanks for recommendations, I will look into this. How long does shipping take?

    Are these units better then similar priced units on ebay?

    Will they work with an X2?

    I can't say on shipping yet, I actually just ordered one today. They are the big seller on ebay, a little cheaper and fedex shipping if you go direct through their website.

    Grizzly has some little DRO's, you need to select one for each axis. I am using them on my machine with good results - and super cheap.

    What sizes would you need for a mini mill x2 jid?

    IS accuracy good enough for you? And repeatable?
