First   anyone know the pitch of lead screw /? and if  anyone had made  a dial for it . Or is everyone a get a DRO for the  Z column . I do plan on putting one on all axis .  but still nice to have a manual dial as well. Thanks for any ideas.

Not sure if it would fit, but a travel indicator and magnetic base might help. You can use it to find the pitch and make that dial.

Thanks for idea yes dont i just need to find out pitch than divide diam of dial to add # of divisions? I can prob add a dial to manual Z column crank anyone do this ?
it says lead screws are Acme thread 10TPI not sure if its including the Z but IMO most likely they are all the same

As far as quill z stop i will use indicator and or DRO for now than in time i am going to add a BP style Quil stop for use of gauge blocks. prob for less than 1" set up .
also going to take apart the power down feed depth see if i can calibrate it correctly with dial/ depth any one have luck with this to use as an accurate quill depth stop?
thanks :)
