Nice project. Light is important as we age. Not that you are old yet.
I have not but I have seen others here & on the net come up with solutions for other lathes. Like spacing out the cross slide DRO scale for use with an open end wrench or making one for the other side (headstock side). But spacing out the DRO scale on the PM1236 may lead to interference with the carriage lock & carriage oilers if using glass scales. Maybe a magnetic scale might provide more room.Hey Darkzero, got a question for you (or anyone that has an answer . Did you come up with another way to lock the cross slide with the DRO covering the allen key access hole? I am about to have the same problem and I do use it quite often to add some rigidity when boring, especially on the final passes.
