You can get them from 4" to 24" length at Horror Fright Tools. Not as handy as having a readout sitting at/near face height, but beats the oem hand dials. You can get higher quality ones that accept a data plugin to a monitor or similar.<br />Consider getting the cheap ones to figure out how to fixture them, and them maybe move to Mititoyo for the remote data connection. Those you can get used on Ebay, probably. <br /><br />You can do the same for the Z axis, but that might be more involved. Depends on the mill, but those are already available set up for some common vertical mills.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.com
