New guy here.
I added a digital readout (DRO) to the cross slide of my Big Dog Metalworks (mfg. by Real Bull) 7x14 mini lathe. The mount is made from a piece of 3/4" angle aluminum, while the DRO itself is a digital indicator from Harbor Freight.
The mount is attached to the saddle using one of the holes for a follower rest, while the indicator bears on the cross slide. You can also see a sheet metal chip guard I added to the saddle in the pic above.
There are some more details on my site.
ETA: I should note that I got the idea for this from a post I saw on MadModder.net.
