MAGXact DRO Slide Clean/Repair - One Tiny Chip Scrapped A Part Media
Published: 2 years ago
My MAGXact DRO on my PM 1440TL Lathe was not reading correctly and caused me to ruin a part I was making. When I finally had a chance to pull it apart and take a look it was just 1 tiny metal chip that caused the issue. 10 minutes of clean up and back in business.
I had not taken a look at the slides on these magnetic DRO's. There is not much to them and if you get one glitchy reading you should immediately pull off the dust cover, remove the slide reader and check for any dirt or metal that could be causing the issue. Don't wait until your part is ruined like I did.
