Yeah, they usually miss out by 9mm from 6ft, but close.
Also the sheet sizes are 1220x2440mm, thats an 4x8 sheet.
Here is a hardware joke for you.
Mick and Pat went to the hardware store
When they arrive, Mick tells Pat to go and get a 2x4
Pat walks in and asks the salesman for a 2x4, the salesman replies how long do you want it
Pat goes out to the car and says to Mick, the salesman wants to know how long we want it?
Mick replies, tell him we want it for a while because where building a house with it.
You may have heard it, but I thought I would throw it up.

I'm wary of the 4x8's too, sometimes they're 1200x2400. Or at least they say they're 1200x2400. Ah well, it's not like a 4x2 was ever 4x2 anyway.
Been so long since I've heard that joke I think I've forgotten it. Here's another one:
Two Irishmen are working their way down the street, every few meters one digs a hole, and then the other one fills it in.
A woman watches them for a while, and eventually curiosity get the better of her so she walks over and asks what they're doing.
"Oh", says the first one, "We're planting trees, but Paddy who puts the tree in is off sick today."

I have heard that one, the grandfather has told me these type of ones since I was a kid, I find there all pretty funny though.
Mike, If was to do my Z scale again (which is on the cards) I would use a piece of 40x40mm or 50x 50mm steel angle like I did on the mill for more protection. I have dropped a few things down the back of the lathe over the years and cringe every time. I would still use the standard cover, but have it in the angle.
I would then have jacking screws in each end of the angle to get it running true with the ways as the back of these lathes have a lot of bog and are not true. On my mill Y and Z, I used M4 grub screws as jacking screws, 1 top and bottom each end, which gives you all the adjustment you need and if your a bit off in height, the scale itself is slotted to adjust that.
