Here's a link to my thread about fitting DRO to my SX2P:

So im told in theory I could make a Power feed with a stepper motor thus creating a Dro ? So im looking into that now as this seems a double hit it i can use it manually sometime as-well in some config.

WeldingRod:
Four drawbacks: it doesnt read the backlask, the screw error, manual motion, or lost steps right.  If you fitted one with an encoder, you could take out the last two problems for a small outlay.
There are cheap quadrature counter modules out there, in regular, waterproof, and instrinsically safe (not going to cause an explosion).  I've used all three for regular and backup depth readouts on machines from 10 to 160,000 pounds.

Thanks for that think this is going toward a simple Dro set of individual readouts and a stepper to drive the x axis to save my shoulder and cranking..maybe in the future if I get to grips with the Stepper and controls I will convert to Cnc..But i don't think thats me at the moment, as there are just to many things to learn let alone build !
