Bought a digital readout for my old Bridgeport, and now I wonder if I wasted $600
Last spring I put a $600 DRO on my 1985 Bridgeport and I still catch myself cranking the handles by feel out of habit. Half the guys at my shop in Dayton say a DRO turns a good operator lazy because you quit learning your dials. The other half say it cuts scrap and speeds up one-off parts so much that there is no debate. I ran 40 brackets last week and hit every number without counting turns once. For those who run manual mills, did a readout make you better or did it make you rusty on the dials?
