If you dial in the desired depth of cut in only one direction then backlash is not an issue. If you need a thousandth of an inch more from the bore, take up the slack in the leadscrew before loosening the center locking screw and turn the dial a thou. Criterion heads are direct reading; if you dial in a thou, the bore gets a thou bigger.
