Digital Readout for mill

[tacks Y]

Has anyone installed one lately? If so what are you using? I would like to set at 1" and have a display to show how high head is. I am thinking display and sensor on head. I read the old posts where some bought them from Grizzly. Any other good place to find them.

I put one of the Grizzly ones on my mill. Biggest problem is you can't let it get wet. I can only mill on sunny days now . ;D ;D  Look for a weatherproof one if you can find one.

I would add to 21's comment: also don't let it get cold. I bought one from Eagle America (not a Grizzly - don't remember the brand) and it worked great for maybe 2 years then the winters got to it. Brought it in the house and the reading was stable - took it back outdoors and reading was erratic. Gave it to a friend with a heated shop. Do a search on DRO in the FF.

I was an DRO installer when I worked at Grizzly.
There is so many different kinds. I liked the
new tubes with bearings inside the best. They
was the most robust.

Tacks, remember simplicity is a beautiful thing. Sawmills lead a tough life especially out in the weather and electronics and their accessories can and will bring problems. Frank C.

I had a TK and really liked the display. I was hoping to find a FF member with a good dependable DRO, did I say low cost would would be nice? As it is now I will upgrade my scale.

I did a search ar Amazon for the above and found it available for about $125.

Is the price within your budget?

I think I can swing 125.00, buttttttt I hope to find one that will last also. I found one that claims water resistant and need to look further. Thanks
