Considering a 3 axis DRO for a milling machine.
Looking around it would appear that I can get an optical system for around £300 and there are numerous suppliers to choose from. Magnetic systems are rather thin on the ground and typically twice the price. Don't need anymore than 10 micron resolution, apart from some of the benefits when it comes to ease of installation are the any other plus points that justify the extra expense of the magnetic system, are they any more accurate or durable than optical systems?
