I've heard this reported before and I've seen it a couple of times before but never like this. In the past, I've noticed my x-axis igaging DRO on my mill jump to a new number an inch or so off. Never actually saw it happen and the error was obvious. Last night I was drilling some holes and the reading was all over the place, like a hundred inches off and changing constantly. Wiggled the wires and plug at the display box, still does it, touched the slider on the bar and it stopped and did not repeat. Never got as far as turning off the motor so I don't know if that's related. Through all this the y axis (whose wires are bundled with the X until they split to go to different scales) was stable.
As I was in a hurry and was only moving in the y-direction I didn't investigate further, now I'll be away for a couple of days, but has anybody isolated this problem and come up with a definitive fix?
