Hello All -
I recently purchased a cheap DRO from Vevor (https://www.vevor.com/linear-scale-...-dro-encoder-for-milling-lathe-p_010132284154) and I'm experiencing an issue where my DRO measured value is different than the actual part diameter measured.
I've reviewed the manual and calibrated the X axis using an indicator along with a 1-2-3 block and confirmed that moving my cross-slide 3.0" matches with my my DRO x value says (3.0002").
My usage:
Make a skim cut on piece and measure diameter with micrometer. Let's say it's 1.32". I then enter X -> 1.32 Ent into DRO. Now when I move my cross-slide until DRO reads 1.295" and make another cut, however when I measure the actual piece it is always much smaller (like 1.282"). I've tried changing the modes from Radius to Diameter and that doesn't seem to affect anything.
Is it possible that tool deflection could be causing these errors?
Thanks,
Phil
