But, as of a few weeks ago, I have DROs on the lathe and mill, so

The lathe uses output from a micrometer?


I'm going to make a measurement with the micrometer, find the
difference from the desired measurement, and then move the tool some
number of tenths of a mm, say to take up half the difference and leave
enough for a finishing pass.
