Greg,
No, I'm boring as usual. I believe the DRO is displaying the point along the cross slide lead screw and since, when boring, you're usually bringing the cross slide towards you it's displaying that position rather than the diameter of the bored hole. I'm thinking it would have to be a special function built into the DRO to accomplish but what the hell do I know.
I sent an email to the DRO company and their tech guy isn't in today so I'm going to give him a call tomorrow. I'll just continue on with my project by measuring and getting close and measure some more until I hit the dimension I need. But I sure would like to be able to use more than just the basic features of the DRO like I'm doing now.
