Hi gang,
May this post find you and yours healthy and sassy.
I’ve recently discovered the magic of a digital read out. Every function has worked perfectly as far as I have judged.
Last weekend I screwed up. My holes were not centered in my part.
I am using a Starrett edge finder, I carefully zero one edge, up and over to the other side, find the edge, touch the, 1/2 function and the Y axis. I move to the center 0000 and center drill.
In the photos, I am showing you two holes. The one in the center is using the, find the edge, deduct half the edge finder thickness. Zero out then move in half the distance of the width of the part, center drill/spot.
The hole off center is using the DRO 1/2 feature.
I have a DRO Pros, EL402 series. I love it until now.
Any ideas? I have proved this theory at least six times. Same results every time. I am extremely careful.
