Scales required for milling machine

Hi,



Does anyone know where I could get some scales for X and Y movement of my milling machine. (need approx. 250mm in x direction and 150mm in y).



I can make the digital readout ok but need the scales. Alternately, a web site that might have a homebrew version using maybe a rotary encoder and some form of linear to rotary mechanism to drive the shaft.



Thanks in advance.

This is sort of an "open-source" DRO project. There are links to some use-groups that talk about scales for this DRO. There were also some discount optiondiscussed for cheap Chinese scales and also for higher quality ones as well.
