Hi, after building my MFT+CMS sysport combo (http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-jigs-tool-enhancements/sysport-cms-mft-(work-in-progress)/), I have added a digital readout from Wixey:
1) I took off the end of my Festoll rip fence, the clamp for the V profile fixes to the fence via 4 machine screws with square nuts in the aluminium.. I wanted to see the fixings to see how I could re-use them for the connector to the read-out unit (see pic 5)
2) I fixed the brackets for the wixey rail into the slot on the underside of the MFT profile.. it was perfect height wise
3) The unit attached, the DRO is set to zero when the fence is touching the blade.. from there you can use an absolute or incremental measurement
4) Close up of the DRO, it slides on it own rail, the green is a copper/pcb combo which the head reads as its slides, the head attaches to the fence with a magnet
5) The fixing that connects the fence to the magnet
In the UK, the readout is available from (http://www.machine-dro.co.uk/woodwork-measuring-tools.html) for £77
