This is probably something really simple!
I bought a used 2000 VMC 3016, just getting it running.
If I put a mag base indicator on the mill table with the indicator against a tool holder in the spindle.
Then jog the X axis until the indicator shows 0.100" movement,
the DRO on the machine says X has only moved 0.084"
This was really driving me nutty until I figured out what was happening!
Is there a scaling factor somewhere in the machine setup that I have to set?
Thanks,
Robert Paisley
