Default 10 x 22 Lathe DRO, 0, 2 or 3 -axis ?


Hi,

I've never used a DRO on a lathe, but often used a dial indicator on
the ways.

I'm thinking of adding a glass-scale (2 tenths resolution) DRO to at
least two axes.

Is the third axis worthwhile-- given extra cost and additional hassles
to install?



Best regards,
Spehro Pefhany
