Shown is the DRO's installed on my K3. I have wanted to do this since I bought the saw but the cost of the DRO's was simply off the planet until recently when some genius in China started to sell them for about $100 or even less and they work and function just as well as the expensive ones.
Another problem I had for a long time was designing a bracket that cleared the Kipp lever handles on the cross cut fence, some are thicker than others but I eventually got there. The magnetic read tape on the cross cut fence is under the original tape and can't be seen.

The DRO on the rip fence only works if you have the fine adjuster as the magnetic read tape fits in the vertical front face of the extrusion that the original tape sits on.
