Whatever you buy, ask about the table motion per dial revolution. Mine
is 0.1 inch per turn, but some machines apparently have 0.125 inch/turn
(would drive me nuts - I think),


My mill (Gorton) has a table motion of .125 for each turn of a hand
wheel. I thought it would be awkward, but it's not really. I got used to
it pretty quickly.

Fair enough. 0.2 is fairly obvious to me; how do you think your way
around at 0.125/turn?

I think in increments of .125". One inch is eight turns. .475" is three
turns plus .100".

If I ever get my DROs put together and mounted, then I won't have to think
at all!
