Inexpensive Digital Calipers to Modify for DRO (Digital Readout) Applications

We first mentioned these inexpensive digital calipers over a year ago, and it seems that people have been quite pleased with their performance. In addition to these calipers’ reasonable accuracy and repeatability, they’re great to modify and add to jigs and power tools as inexpensive DRO (digital readout) gauges.
