My issues started with the DRO which came on my lathe, it had some slight damage and was building error at 0.001" at a trip. Move the carriage off of a known point then return to that point and you would be at a plus 0.0012X repeat the process and it would be at 0.0027X and so on and it was occurring on both the X axis and the Y/Z axis. Talked to Mike at Precision Mathews (PM) and he was great help, very patient but finally we met in the middle and I now have a new DRO setup and I have installed it. I now have an Y/Z Axis which is rock solid but, the X Axis is increasing at 0.313" at a single trip and I cannot help but think I am missing a setting. I did set the scale resolutions X=1 and Y/Z=5 all linear and I am currently paying attention to my mounting of this scale to see if I possibly have an issue there.
Any thought on this would be appreciated, I am currently of the opinion that this is a setup issue, unfortunately the documentaion is a bit thin here.
