Ok, so i got the stock dowels out and installed the offset lakewood units. However, no matter which way i rotate them, i cannot get the reading from top to bottom to be less than .020 whenr i start the dial indicator at the 12 oclock position at zero
Can someone please explain this to me:
Setting the dial indicator to zero at 12 oclock position
9 oclock= -.012
6 oclock= -.022
3 oclock= -.011

HOWEVER, when i set thedial indicator to Zero at the 3oclock positino, my readings are as follows
6 oclock= .008
9oclock= .02
12 oclock= .012

I have checked the numbers twice. This is very confusing to me and i do not understand. Can someone please educate me.
Thanks
