Ed, If you didn't have the DRO you'd have to read the dial backwards wouldn't you. 
I always use the locking feature on my dial and just before taking the final cut I set it to zero and back it up half the distance remaining to be removed.
My 16 x 60 has a DRO and I use it because the dials are in MM.
I just zero it and advance the cross feed by the same amount as above.
Am I missing something?
