I'm looking into adding a 2 axis DRO onto my HLV-H. Brands aside, I noticed that Acu-rite calls for 7" on the cross slide, but Newall list 6", both use 20" along the bed. Should I be requesting 6" or 7" for my cross slide? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks
 
I’m not sure, why they have a 1” difference. I would assume the travels be the same regardless of the scale.

I’m going to measure the travel and add and inch, that way I have 0.50” on each end extra on the travel.
 
Thanks for the info, my machine does not have the mounting holes. I think it may be a year or two older before they started to do that.
I ended up with 7.2" of travel, close enough I think. I plan on mounting the scale in the front so I can use the taper attachment.
 
The Acu-Rite has feed rate displayed the Newall doesn’t. Get glass scales. I sure like them on my HLV-H, you are able to hold some ridicules tolerances. I have the Newall on my BP bought them new, I was able to get a deal on them with the mag scales.
