Hello everyone 👋👋

I've been looking at 2 axis dro's...I'm looking for a unicorn probably. Max allowance for one is a couple hundred dollars.
I see many on ebay for $150 to $180 though I honestly dont know what I'm looking at..or if they are even worth buying.
I just bought a new lathe (8.5 x 20 sieg 4) , I've had the type..or I should say, I've used the type of DRO which mounts by the turning wheels thats offered on new lathes, they arent a good fit for me, I need something mounted either on the top of the rear chip guard or the wall.
I dont need one to do a lot of amazing features..just something really easy to see and super easy to operate.

Any recommendation on a good one to look at will be most appreciated, thank you all !

Are you using batteries on them or did you buy the optional power cord ?l

I noticed Little Machine Shop carries what looks like the exact ones though not under the same name.

Thanks!

I have the battery powered ones, IIRC they use CR2032 batts. The ones I have don't have auto shut off which is a pain.
