I'm getting ready to drop a bunch of cash on some glass scales. I was intending to put a scale on the compound but with some thinking about it now I don't know.
Is it useful to use a scale on the compound? Do any of you use one?
I have never taken the time to put any scales on my lathe. I really don't use my compound very much but while I'm already setting it up I don't know if I should go ahead & do this one or not. It would kind of make setting up the DRO odd since it would total into the y axis differently each time you adjusted the angle of it. I guess I could just have it on its own reading & add it when there is a need.
