Thanks for writing up the fitting of this DRO set up, Bill, it looks neat, and has not needed very much modification of your pristine lathe.
The small separate read outs placed where you can see them readily are a much nicer solution than the "vernier" type of built in display on some devices that I have occasionally wondered about fitting. Also, your X arrangement can be almost instantly demounted if work piece / cleaning requires that. Should be a big enhancement of the handy machine. Dave
