Hi Gene,
Thanks for the informative message.
Do you know the accuracy of these super small scales?
I really don't think my Logan 400 is set up to have a DRO on, what we call in the USA, the cross or compound slide.? ? It's a trade off for shoe-horning something in vs. it's usability and it's effects on the overall usability of the lathe.? I'll have to look for the Caliper2PC sometime later this week.
I guess that the reason for the glass scale is both cost and potentially noise immunity vs. the higher end capacitive scales and mostly just cost vs. the magnetic scales.? ?I really don't know the accuracy/repeatability of these super small scales, but I image that the glass scales are just as good or potentially better.
Peter,
As soon as I get this done, I'll post some pictures.? ?I am hoping to get this done before 1 January.? ?Things move slowly around here - work/kids/home duties/holiday obligations, etc. take priority.
Dave
