Possibly the mount rather than the indicator. Also it looks like the base is on the cross slide which you might have nudged, or it might just move under the pressure of the indicator. Try arranging it to indicate the movement of the cross slide and experiment with small movements of the handwheel.

Hi Michael, interesting read regarding the 5c collets i had no idea the stock going to be had the be exactly the right size, lesson learnt from now on! However in this case i made sure that i got a piece of 1/2" silver steal to marry up to my 1/2" collet.

Regards to your post Bazyle, what do you mean about the mount? Are they not a stable base? If this is the case i can swap my base as i have just picked an eclipse one up for a tenner! So I'm really chuffed with that, might give that a go tomorrow? I don't think i nudged the wheel however that would make sense?

Best tip I had about these bases was from John S. Replace the rod with the omega-spring in it with a rigid rod, the whole thing will suddenly become more accurate.

Excellent i will swap the base tomorrow. Quick question regarding the clock its self, is it better in this situation to use a lever DTI or a Plunger type?
