I tried searching the forum but I just get an error so I figured I will just ask.
I am looking for a budget 3axis DRO to put on my RF45 clone mill. Other than that I have no idea what to look for and when I search aliexpress it gets complicated fast. I was thinking about magnetic scales because I am nervous about trying to cut down glass scales but most of the adds don't seem to say what the scales are. I also don't know what I need for resolution or does it make much of a difference on a hobby machine? I'm just wondering if anyone has purchase one recently that you are happy with and what is was? Budget is my main concern. Is there a way to get something that works for a hobbyist that isn't expensive but will get the job done.
