Re: DRO update

Bertho,

Thanks for the kudos; I tried, but am no real web artist or for that matter
a photographer:)

For me, the performace is more than adequate. Beats the devil out of the
dials and backlash in the screws.

Repeatability "seems" to be very good. I have tried moving the table quite
quickly and also slowly. Have learned NOT to make rapid changes in movement
or especially direction as the error rate jumps rapidly. The biggest
problem seems to be when you "just start" to move and I believe this is
causing pulsation in both directions causing the "jitters" to indicate
errors. I have had to "relocate" some of the holes especially when
changeing tools for the counterbore opeations and from apperances, seems to
be right on. (Hell of a lot closer than when I was using the dials and lead
screws for positioning!) Will try the last idea you propositioned sometime
this week. (gotta work for the money to buy toys ya know!!)
