This is going to save a lot of time and headaches! Takes some of the guesswork out of the old gal.
Installed DRO on my lathe, super happy.

Modern DRO kits are pretty incredible. When I bought my mill, someone had removed the Heidenhein glass scales. If you aren't aware, Heidenhein pioneered glass linear scales, I had used a lot of them in my previous job and would have loved to replace the ones on my machine, but I was able to get the entire system for probably 10% of the price and haven't had a single issue. The new kit was actually a step up as the original readout was just DRO, but the new one has things like hole circle calculation, which saves time and reduces human error.
Life without a DRO is like a peanut butter sandwich with no jelly. 
Like cue building with a shop full of balsa wood.
Like eggs with no bacon.
Like a car with no tires.
Like a handgun with no bullets.
Like......well you get the picture.
