I have my glass scales in hand and I am looking at the best location to install the scales. For the X axis I can put the scales at the front or the rear of the table. If I put them at the rear the gib screws will be covered by the read head, and if I put them at the front I may not be able to use the lever handled screws that lock the table in place. I have seen one P-M installation on this site, on a machine I am told is very similar, where they were installed at the back, and one Youtube video on a machine identical to mine where they were installed at the front. Neither installation gave details on why they choose one location over the other. I do not have enough machining experience to have a preference. Which location would you choose and why?
