I was able to add a cross slide DRO underneath
I experimented with that approach but found that the DRO I used has quite a bit of friction.? It caused the "C" shaped arm to deflect to the tune of about .004", despite my best efforts to stiffen it up.? That would result in a .008" diameter error, too much for my taste.
The DRO is an iGaging remote reading model.? Other types of DROs might have less friction.? The iGaging capacitive sensor MUST have a good sliding electrical contact to the scale so it's not possible to reduce the sliding friction to zero.
I have a solution I'm working on.? I'll report on later if it works OK.
