Ditron DRO question?
I have a Ditron and cannot figure out the solution to My problem using the supplied manual. it is a simple question. If I have .100" to mill off of a part how do I change the screen to let know when it counts down to "0". Saves refiguring when I have to stop for something else. Thanks...
