Hi Ironken,
Sorry the delay; Saturday is my day at the workshop.
The DRO is OK for me.
I never had or used a glass scale DRO before; my experience was with iGaging and Rotary Encoders, custom made electronics/software.
The one I got from eBay is much better, mainly because of the glass scale technology.
As Wawoodman said, just install the scales firmly, keep then parallel to the machine axis (horizontal and vertical) and it will be fine.
The manual is not totally useless. It is extensive (54 pages) with good drawings and good paper; only the text is hard to understand. I assume it was translated to English by someone not really fluent. With some head scratch and deductions I was able to do everything I needed, like reversing the direction of the measurement (+-). After figuring out there is a hidden button on the bottom left corner, for configurations.
