I may be an [bleep], but I have done a little bit of machining. When you are threading with your DRO you must have your tool upside down and threading to the right? So now you are threading to a shoulder. Do you adjust your compound or do you just plunge cut your threads?
I thread upside down and backwards using the compound. I never said that I needed the DRO for threading, but I use the lathe for more than threading and I still think that a DRO would be beneficial. If you don't, that's fine. Just leave your thoughts about how I should be making a living out of the discussion.
