When I bought this mini lathe for my little home machine shop I knew that positioning to any degree of accuracy was going to have to been done using some other method than the screw scales. So I bought a pair of these digital scales new on Ebay for dirt cheap and made my own mounting brackets and it worked superbly. The lathe itself needs tuning up and ways work but once that is done adding these scales gave me a very good and acurate machine. You would be surprised to know that getting to .001 on several parts was achieved.... couldn't believe it my self. So here are photos showing how I mounted the cross and long brackets. Hope you can enjoy this...
