No DRO, yet. I'll get one eventually but my budget was already stretched to the max just getting the basic mill. I'm thinking the DRO will be a birthday present to myself which is in November. I did purchase a power feed for the X axis. I bought it while I was waiting for the mill to arrive and installing it will be one of the first things I do to the mill after I get it all up and running.
Once it's all reassembled I need to get the VFD and all of the controls wired in before I can make use of the mill. So it'll be awhile before the first chips are made.
