Looks like I only got the 6" unit. The cart was split into two orders. The second has the 24" scale so I presume that's coming from down East.
Maybe that's the FedEx shipment that was delayed?

I'll be watching this. Installing the cross slide scale was the main challenge on my Utilathe.
You obviously don't have a taper attachment.........
Nope. Sure don’t.
Everything finally arrived. Nothing seems to be missing and the scale boxes look to be as made because the packing inside is really snug.
David,
Do you have any experience with DRO accuracy ?
I saw the specs where they stated an accuracy of .004” for the iGaging DRO Plus units.
I would have thought a DRO would be better, maybe they are regarding to variation over the full length.
I need to make a decision tomorrow to get the sale price.

The accuracy is for the full length. I did a bunch of research to understand that. So the 6" scale has .002 accuracy over 6" I can live with that since my lathe crossslide only has about 3'ish inches of travel
3 inches? What size lathe is that?
South Bend 10.
Might be more than than 3'ish... I've never measured it to be honest
If you can swing 10" don't you have to traverse 5" to face off?
In theory yes. The reality is that there's about 4" from from the edge my toolpost to the centre of the chuck.
Indeed. I like to stroke my ego by being sure I hit my measurements to the mm
Generally I aim for a class 6 fit
In truth, I use metric for woodworking. Just easier to deal with mm rather than imperial. IMHO and experience.
