DRO for Chinese lathe/Mill

[Ralphxyz]

As Toolmaker51 says "Deviations create sine errors, whence reader sees increments at a different rate than actual travel."

Exactly, the reason given for leaving one end free or floating on foam.

If you do not want to take the time to get it exact and just want to have accurate DRO let it float and move on, unless of course you are getting paid to do the install.
