Glad you got this fixed. Pretty much what I expected. On my lathe, I mounted the magnetic scale facing down rather than sideways, and after 6 years, I haven't had an issue like this.

Mine broke randomly. I had to buy a replacement from Precision Matthews because it was past the warranty. Can't live without a DRO if you've gotten used to using one. It's a must have.

Yea be careful with steel chips getting in... steel is magnetic so it will affect the reading. Even if it was not magnetic the fact that there's a chip it may cause it to miss a reading... I noticed with the magnetic DRO scale apart from the cover there isn't much else protecting the scale from chips. On a glass scale the scale itself is inside a U shaped channel with a rubber gasket thing basically keeping anything from getting in, then there's another cover that keeps chips out. I've never had any problems with it at all as it's quite hard to get chips into it.

Tyler Fu - Thanks for the comment. May have to work on the cover if this becomes a recurring problem.
