Hi All,
I had originally ordered the PM-1440GT with a DRO from PM that I will install myself. It is the glass scale version he sells. My only experience with DRO glass scales is the SINO DRO/scales PM put on the PM1127 we got for the high school. Both scales failed within the first two years of limited use so I'm a bit gun shy of them. It could just be the SINO brand or a bad batch since there are so many out there.
My old lathe had a Shooting Star CBX DRO that used a rack and pinion...
