Thank you, I always thought that fettling was more akin to cleaning and knocking of shar edges and such. But I never heard snagging being used in UK, only in US. But then again that was not my primary intrest then.

Hmm. There is no T-grove on the back of the table.

chipenter:
The stop would have to be for the lead screw nut to hit , it's the nut that limits travel on my minor the casting was curved and angled the nut was flat , and only about 6mm thick just filed it square and got another 10mm .

Yesh, there is a curve at the front end of the plinth. Cuout is U-shaped and I was working on with pilar end. Need to chek if the spindle reaches far side of the table.

You could do like I did on my cross slide, and bond the magnetic tape directly to the machined back side of the table.  If you put the reader off center, you could get it on there with no loss of travel.

That is a pretty good option. Easy to make and maintain.
