    Instead of a worm drive, I added a mount for a DI to show the actual distance traveled. It has a handwheel for setting it to zero.

    I found that with a delicate touch, I could easily set it to a thousandth. A piece of tubing slipped over the Unimat lever would allow finer adjustments. It is a joy to be able to work to actual numbers in the Z axis.
