Care to share 'the flawed method' so I don't repeat it?
The picture below shows how I had it set up to measure the travel of the table via a .001" dial indicator capable of measuring 2" of travel. The problem is that the DI needs to be at perfect right angles to the 123 block in both the Y and Z directions. I used 123 blocks to set it up the best I could. So there will be errors in the set up and parallax errors reading the DI. I was chasing tenths until I realized my method was faulty.
I'm not sure how one would go about accurately testing the DRO numbers. Probably something to do with gauge blocks and a .0001 DTI but that's only part of the puzzle.
