Another option is to turn the scale sideways and mount the pickup over the ways. Guess there's a chance of getting cuttings in the seal but hasn't affected mine. On my big lathe they brought a bolt out from the saddle for the tailstock to hit before it contacted the scale.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
