Hi All! I'm a new forum member and just took delivery of a new PM-1228VF-LB. Everything looks very nice so far. It was well-packed, the build quality looks great, and it fired up first time with no problems. I'm a little puzzled with the main carriage feed which has a dial marked in 16-thousandths of an inch per line with 95 lines per revolution. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with that -- I guess I need to buy a DRO ?
First question for anyone who has assembled one of these: What are these two black metal channels that came with the stand? I don't see them in any of the diagrams and they don't seem to have an obvious purpose?
Thanks!
