I recently acquired an old manual lathe.
I was thinking about adding a digital readout. I don’t have much machining experience so I am wondering if adding more than the basic 2 axis would be worth doing. Like the carriage and cross slide are given but what about a dro on the compound slide and tailstock ? Is this something a person would use much just a waste of time and money. I don’t have much experience on a lathe so I don’t really know. Thank you so much for your experience and input for a newbie.
