I'm having some issues on the DRO on the spindle of my PM-25MV mill.
First, I'm seeing a backlash issue. When I lower the spindle using either the fine control or the handles, I see the DRO increase as it should. When, I reverse direction and raise the spindle, it takes 4 or more thousandths before the DRO responds. I used a dial indicator to verify this. I thought the DRO had no backlash issues. Any ideas?
Second, I think the DRO is off by 6 or more thousandths when I lower it by 0.375". I'm trying to hit 0.375" DOC for some milling operations and it seems to be off based on my dial indicator and by measuring the depth via a digital caliper. Anyone else seen this?
Thanks!
