I must have been not too bad this past year, because I got a Accurate technology Digistop for my birthday! Just starting to mess around with it, and it looks great. Basically, it's the hobby version of the proscale system. Nice sized readout, easy to push the buttons. What I think I am really going to like is that when you calibrate you basically lock the stop in an arbitrary position, make a cut, measure with calipers, then push the plus and minus keys to display the proper value. That way there is no trying to figure out where to zero against a blade.
My reason for asking for this is that I want to build some projects to some pretty tight dimensions. My saw has a digital rip fence, but I have struggled with the crosscut. I'm trying to figure out how to mount it to the machines so that I can move it from the radial arm saw to the sliding saw.
Pictures to come when it's mounted on the mochine.
BTW- Accurate Technology has these on sale this month. Not cheap, but it looks very well made. The extrusion is pretty heavy duty and the readout is big.
