[Rob Will]

Does anybody have a good source for a digital readout that can be added to a planer?

Thanks,

Rob

These are installed in a variety of machines including my hofmann shaper. They work pretty darn good.

Rob, check out: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=29206 That will actually give you the link to yet another review. One of them might fit your needs. Also, Barry Wixey has some additional pics of other planer installs on his site. If the DRO is applicable to your situation, it's by far the most economical solution. :) :cool:
