I got tired of the glitches with the Shumatech DRO 350 ... bought a relatively inexpensive unit that uses glass scales . I have mounting for the X and Y axes figured out , but the Z is going to be interesting . The DRO 350 used capacitive scales , and a 6" caliper worked just swell for it . This scale is totally different ... but hey , I've got stock and tools !
New DRO !

Is new DRO day as exciting as new tool day?
Well , a DRO is a tool ... I'm really looking forward to having accurate location data . The Shumatech unit has had problems since I built it . The best I can say about it is it was better than nothing - once you learned to work around stuff like .200" jumps in the middle of a cut .
