Hey Donald, I am VERY happy with my Ditron. But I have to say this. If I were you living on the very edge of civilization like you do, I'd prolly go with DRO Pros instead of Ditron. The DRO Pros guys are ex military. They have a better feeling for what your life is like than a Chinese outfit will have. Plus they speak English and can talk to you about your install and any problems you might have.

Given your recent busy bee problems, I think you will be better off with a DRO Pros DRO.

That's my OPINION anyway.

FWIW, I will be getting another Ditron shortly for my lathe. But I'll be getting it from Amazon instead of from China direct. The Ditron store on Amazon told me they would price match. So it seems like a no brainer for me. But I live on the shore of Lake Erie at the far south end of Canada......
It’s gonna be a while before I take this plunge, but having seen their site they seem to be good. Retirement and travel constrain the tool budget but it will come around. if I can get it all in a package that works that’s my big thing. It’s a killer here as postage is so slow, if you have to go back and forward with stuff it takes months, even yrs! This is often applied to every aspect of projects here! I won’t bore you with the trouble shooting and research I had to do on a Kawasaki mule with starter clutch issues

I get it.

That's why I did something I seldom do. Which is to recommend something for someone else that I wouldn't do for myself.

I don't envy your problems. But the clean air and gorgeous landscape? Oh yes!
