I have to say that graduations are irrelevant for the way I use my carriage stop. I touch off on the end of the work with the tool (ie Z direction) zero the DRO, then use the DRO to set the carriage stop. When within a thou or so, lock it to the bed and use the thimble to set exactly where I want. I'm probably not even looking at the thimble as I turn it !
