I’m installing a DRO on my PM-1236T lathe, I needed a bracket for the X axis read head since the one in the box didn’t fit, no problem I’ll just machine one up. It looked all nice and purdy, until I tried to install it…. I measured the position of the threaded holes from the wrong position, so they don’t line up. So, I machine a new piece, and just as I am finishing it, I realize I could have just machined the ledge a bit further down and would have been fine.
On the plus side, the second one didn’t take as long to machine lol
