[Emc-users] OT: Chinese linear encoders

[Eric Keller]

Anyone tried them? I need a 30" encoder for my lathe. I see ones on ebay
for <$150. They don't seem to be differential at that price though.
I have an accurite dro, but one of the encoders isn't long enough.

I have 3 of them on my mill, but not so long, only 300 mm.
Repetability is good, about +-0.01 mm.
I don't have any means to verify accuracy at that precision over that
distance, but I don't need it, either.
