How embarrassing

I went to use it for the first time and noticed my PM-935TS has metric dials. Man I hate it when this happens.

My PM-935TS has imperial dials. You might want to ask PM to replace yours. Or you could convert to the superior method of measurement.

Superior method of measurement???? Only to the rest of the world, WTF do they know?

Hmm, 5mm = .196...", I think he'll need an imperial leadscrew to convert in a useful fashion.

I hope you didn't order it that way.

if you get a DRO, you probably won't use the dials anyway. I don't have a dial on my X, since I put a power feed on, and would need to order a bridgeport dial for my Clausing.

I don’t think you’re understanding the problem. He would need to change to imperial dials to use the superior method of measurement

You might want to ask PM if your machine can be fitted with both style dials. My 1972 Bridgeport came from the factory with both metric and imperial disls

Mines imperial also.

That is how my lathe is set-up, but the mill only has imperial.

Nope, he’d be changing it to the inferior method of measurement.

Amazing how passionate people get over imperial versus metric. I made the conversion 20 years ago, and so glad I did. Metric rules. Now rage on. LOL
