I mounted a set of the AccuRemote scales to my G0402 mill and I swear they seem to have about .003 of "backlash". Approaching a position from one direction, they seem to 'return to zero' pretty well, approach from the other direction and they're "off" by about 3 thousandths. I mounted them using PVC in an attempt to ensure I had no possibility of a current ground loop (I'm also using Yuriy's Android based DRO). I'm not convinced the backlash isn't introduced by the PVC mounting blocks, so I'm currently rebuilding them in aluminum.
As most folks have already said, don't expect them to be perfect, don't expect them to be nearly as accurate as a "real" DRO (discalimer: I have no experience with a "real" DRO to compare) and you won't be disappointed. For what they are, and the price point, these scales seem to be a winner.
