I am looking at buying a DRO for my gap bed 20X80 lathe . Its one of the magnetic scale type from DRO Pros .
They sell a 14" x 80" scale and a 16" x 110" scale length . Do you think 80" will be enough or will I need to upgrade to the 110" and trim it ? I was going to measure the travel on the lathe but will not be home to do that and I need to get it ordered . Hoping someone can chime in on this .
Also how do I deal with the removal gap ?
Thanks
