I have a 3 scale DRO on my lathe, Z and the compound can be summed or displayed independently. I dial the compound to be parallel to the Z axis. The carriage probably weighs 5 or 6 hundred pounds so carriage travel isn't going to get you very accurate working to a shoulder. I get close with the carriage, kick out the power feed then dial the last few thou with the compound. Works flawlessly.
