Thank you indeed for the explanation of how you made the new graduations by transferring the old ones over to the chuck and then using the newly marked chuck to re transfer the lines to the new hand wheel dials.
I may try this using some 2.5 " cold rolled steel & turn it to a polished finish, possibly having to remove some of the back to make it a tad cupped .
Done so I can put it on my cross feed shaft as it is .
I hope to make it a bit more noticeable for my brain by putting an annular rings for ever 5 thou division to reach and one twice that distance in from the edge for the 10 thou .
I've found over the years that you can quickly focus on where the indication mark is if you use the 5 & 10 decimal style offsetting the marks when making a measure .
