    cheap coolant proof 6" single axis DRO needed

    Surface grinder application, looking for a coolant proof cheaper remote DRO around 6" travel.

    Any suggestions? Finding these coolant proof, or coolant resistant is what's making my search hard!

    well, there is no such thing as coolant proof dro.
    All dro's have protective covering and rubber sealing to protect the glass scale, even the cheap one

    You dont need coolant proof glass scale , really..
    I have opened many glass scale, they contain only a glass strip + small electronics on spring loaded pcb.
    Suppose coolant get in between glass and sensor, you will notice it immediately by reading the dro.
    what you do next is open it and clean it ( I did with with contact cleaner )
