I mounted shars.com's scale on my lathe and so far it works great for
me. For $30 or thereabouts, I get a lot of value out of it. (This is
the 8 inch scale used on the Y axis)
If I can find a horizontal scale long enough for my 36" lathe, where I
can mount the display somewhere else, for not too much, I would
be happy.
