True. I am DRO-less, and compensate for that by either pulling the
stage in on the back side as I turn the wheel, or by doing something

You are a embedded control guy. How darn retro do you want to be? Break open that wallet
in a dim light so the Benjamins don't get blinded and get yourself a DRO.

If it was a lathe, that would be different for some strange reason IMHO.
