Whatever model, the fine adjust feature is just mandatory, in my opinion.
Agree. For a dti with its light touch stylus the articulating style of holder is plenty rigid.In most cases for what we do the difference (in rigidity) is unimportant
The more rigid, the less impact vibration in the setup will have on your readings.For a dti with its light touch stylus the articulating style of holder is plenty rigid.

Thanks for the link. It looks like All Industrial has the DG61003 for $88.99 including free shipping. The 10% discount mentioned at the beginning of this thread takes it down to $80. It will probably be really tough to beat that price.I bought mine on eBay....$90 for a DG61003:

As I suspected, buying the machines is the cheap part. It is all of the accessories / tooling that will break the bank
It doesn't have to. Price is best leveraged with patience. You don't need it all at once.
