I have I-Gageing DRO's on a small table top mill they are fine for what they cost. I bought them from Tool-doc in Wisconsin he had the lowest price at the time. I e-mailed him if he still sells them?? GP

Dave: Thanks for the comments. At the start of travel, the X scale protrudes 6" from the back edge of the way - at the end it protrudes just over 12". I just checked my receipts and find that the set-up I have on my X is the 6" Igaging scale, not the 12" that I put in my prior message.? So you are right.? My mistake! Good luck on getting your DRO installed! Bill

Bill, Nice looking lathe. Bench looks very cool and nice job on the DRO installation as well! How far does the scale on the cross slide protrude to the rear? I ask because I have the factory lamp that could interfere if the scale stuck out too far, didn't do any serious measuring or thinking about it yet though. Seems like I could almost get by with a 6" scale, there's just over 6" of travel from the points where the nut falls off the screw. Depends if there's any overtravel or maybe cut off a longer scale. I have a 12X36 cabinet base model that really needs a readout at least on the carriage! I have a perfect Newall 36" travel scale and transducer taken from a Bridgeport that I'd love to use but haven't found a display for a reasonable price. Also have a "spare" Travadial but the Atlas won't like it. I did talk to another guy in the group with the I-Gaging setup, he's happy with it. The price is right too. Thanks for the pics.
