I really should have grabbed that one I saw a few months back, but I'd only just quit working and was paranoid about spending money.

If you're trying to measure signals that are neither DC nor sinusoidal AC (of which we have plenty on a CNC machine) then digital meters can get confused. The low-pass filtering and averaging provided by a nice mechanical meter movement then comes in very useful. As I have said before, you don't have to use the latest technology but you should always use an appropriate technology.
