Lonnie, can you post a photo of the new dial? I would like to see the difference between them....thanks!

Here they are side by side.

I discovered tonight that my new 1440GT has a similar problem. The dial says each increment is .002" when in reality each increment is .005" of crossslide travel. I will have to check the other dials to see if they are correct then contact PM about the problem.

Well now you guys have me wondering about my lathe. I've never even looked at the dial as I installed a DRO right after setting the lathe up, but now I'm curious.

I’ve had my 13x40 GT for three years and have used my DRO also, but now this post has me wondering if mine is the correct dial also. I’m recouping from knee replacement right now and can’t do any meaningful work in my shop. My wife is In cahoots with my surgeon. Can someone please take a look at mine.
Thanks for the thread. New to site and really like the PM threads.

Best way to tell is put a dial indicator on and turn the dial 1 full revolution. If it moves 0.100" of an inch, that's the correct dial.

It is correct.
