Hi, I'd like to fit a cheap DRO system to my 6" lathe. With the potential error on the cross-slide scale being doubled I am concerned that if I use a typical chinese scale I will end up with less accuracy than I need (or can currently acheive with the dials). Would it be possible to run a cheap scale on the Y axis at the same time as running a better resolution scale on the X axis. I expect that I would use either a budget Asian 2 axis reader or a Shumatec. Any thoughts?
Regards Keith
