> Have run several circle tests, and they are slightly out of round… In the center towards the top, 6" wide x 5 7/8 " high In the center towards the bottom, 6" wide x 5 15/16" high 30" either side the error narrows to 6" wide x 5 31/32" high What measurement errors cause this problem? FWIW, I used the machine to measure top beam length, and the result was 3004.57… used this for the temp sled calibration. When I calibrated using the new sled, I used a steel rule to measure the distance between…

Keep us posted on your progress.
