They sense the rotation of the screw, not taking backlash between the screw and nut into account. No better than the markings on the dials.Brian

I have these type of DROs on my LMS lathe X/Y handwheels and tailstock pictured). How do they work? I find them off several thousands over an inch compared to a dial indicator/1-2-3 block. Bret

Appreciate everyone's thoughts. On the diagram I posted, that emergency switch has traditional spade connectors. So one easy fix is to just swap the white and black connectors, putting the fuse on the

Hello, Mark, I forgot to mention that currently I am spending more and more of my time with my little Unimat lathes. I found out I enjoy machining on the smaller scale machines as well as the 7x16
