I was figuring it might be some permutation of that also. It's the type of thing that one wouldn't notice without the DRO.
It may be the reason why I've wondered where I went wrong on that final cut the times when I've forgotten to lock the cross slide.
Ed, if thats the case maybe you should drill & tap for a lock on t'other side!
