Accuracy problem since fitting DRO

[bletchmonster]

I have the same trouble fizzy. I did better work on my dsg using the dials, squinting at the numbers, trying to judge a bit of a thou, than since fitting a dro that reads perfectly.

Internal stresses from manufacture being relaxed.

I should learn to finish one project properly before starting another.

If you do that you will be excommunicated from this community & banned from the board!

Has the swear filter stopped working?

Nope you get the same spring for every cut of the same depth and it's not accumulated, once you've put the first cut in and established the sping in the tool for that depth of cut it's then negated for all subsequent cuts so long as all of your cuts are the same (which is what allows you to dead-nail your finished depth using heavy cuts). You can add/subtract a few thou without affecting it, to make lining up your finish pass easier to figure.

I got angry from over-shooting on light cuts many times before I learned this.

I am currently an expert in over shooting .

I’m late to this (story of my life) but have you got x set to read diameter. Have done this before and it doubles what you think you’re taking off.

If that’s teaching grandma to suck eggs then please feel free to tell me to go forth
