Hello, I dit not ecpect to receive such a rating for a little help for easier adjustment of my upper carriage of my lathe. There is also alittle improvement for the scales, because the use of the nonius is for bpth directions I shortend the marks at both sides of the 0 for easier reading and a little expanation for reading the scale and also the numbers for the angle extented by the degree sign. The Paypal account is the same as for the log in.



Thank you very much.

For me, the best bit is the use of PCB material to make it - quite a novel way to get around the problems of making one conventionally. Accuracy will be good because those things are done to quite fine tolerances.

Incredibly cheap and you can do black masking with white inlay.

Hi,
I just received the new scales, I ordered due to wrong marking and changed them at my lathe.
