???

 

Check out the DRO made by WIXEY.

Rockler Woodworking Supply sells them, among others.

The 60" model for a table saw fence sells for $99.99.

I have one on my table saw and love it. It also can read out in fractions, going back and forth with decimals.

If I still had my milling machine, I would outfit it with these.

Wixey also makes other sizes.

Check it out !

 

Nope, i think this must have been in some of the stone age "lost hamb" pages

 

Did you look near the end of the thread? there was a mention of getting cheap scales from ebay for $60
