Has anyone tried the new Absolute DRO scales? They are the updated Accuremote scales with a new style readout and can "remember" a zero point even when turned off.
I have never used a DRO before and don't even know if this feature is necessary or useful. I do often have a lot of delays in finishing a part, so having the DRO remember the zero point when I resume working might be nice.
I eventually want to build Yuri's Android DRO but that may not happen soon. Yuri has not has an opportunity to test these new Absolute scales with his system. So I don't know if it will work at all or if the new features will function.
Are the standard Igaging scales accurate enough? I am not very experienced with milling and I don't make close tolerance parts. Also this is an old Jet 16 import Mill/Drill that has a little slop.
Thanks
John
