I've got a Sherline Lathe & mill. I know, I know, expensive toys...BUT, I have access to full size units here at work should I need to do any large or strong work.
My question is about the Sherline DRO. I have an opportunity to buy a 3-axis Sherline set-up, but wanted to solicit feedback first.
Since the DRO uses the leads screw rotation for the input, isn't it going to be subject to the slop in the screws?
Would I be better served to mount some of these 'digital-caliper' based DRO units and just measure movement??
Any advice appreciated.
