PM-1127 DRO Questions

yes I took the scale out and the head that was install at the center. When I took it out I notice that there were some copper spacers that I presume were at the end of the scale. after I secure everything the cross-slide was steady and the reading was steady but reading is not the same. I made some cuts with the cross-slide and it was perfect but the DRO did not even move. example, 620 to 610, DRO did not move at all.
yes the gib is thank you guys for all. the issue is on the DRO will call PM will let you know what they will say.

hi I am nescosmo and I am back I have work with the lathe and not using the DRO but now with the covid 19 things are very slow and I will try to fix the DRO. My machine is a Precision Matthews 1127Vf-LB with a DRO install from the factory I have not call PM at all but I will start by checking the clearance on the head and the scale body. My heart is doing well but the doctor said, slow down or I will drop like a sac of potatoes. Talk to you all later, and yes I am Cuban, and love military rifles.

alignment is ok I took the scale out and move it and some portion of the scale did not read. put it back and level it and still did not read as it should. will call the company sometime the DRO work as it should. will see what happen when I talk to them.
