A digital read out is just a sensor on a slider the displays position from a reference zero you set. Accurate installation is required for precise read out. Easily enough done but nice and convenient to have straight from factory.

You will appreciate this as you can accurate determine where you are on part and how deep you are cutting at a glance. Of course you can be precise with dials but many find it easier on eyes and brain.
