It took me about 15 mins to get people to start doing bolt patterns on our in shop mini mill which has an DRO. And because all they had to do was turn a dial to .5 increments they were dead on precise. I used the CNC Bridgeport for the longer rails (anything over 11 inches) due to the extra travel and speed.

Quoted for truth. If you can't do operations like this on the mill, why have a mill?
