DIGITAL READOUT ADJUSTMENT

✅ Common Causes of DRO vs. Actual Size Discrepancy:

The difference between the digital readout (DRO) on a panel saw and the actual panel size when cut usually stems from mechanical misalignment, blade thickness (kerf), fence positioning, or calibration drift over time. This discrepancy can lead to panels being consistently over- or under-sized if not corrected.

1. ✅ Blade Kerf Not Accounted For: The saw blade removes material (usually 3–4 mm). If the DRO measures from the wrong side or doesn't account for kerf, cuts will be off.
2. ✅ Incorrect Fence Zero Point: If the digital readout was not zeroed when the fence is exactly at the blade edge (or tooth), the measurement will be off.
3. ✅ Wear and Tear: Over time, bearings, slides, or the digital encoder may shift slightly.
4. ✅ Improper Calibration: The DRO must be correctly calibrated to match actual travel distance.

✅ How to Adjust the Digital Readout (DRO):

Tools Needed: Measuring tape or digital caliper, panel to test cut, adjustment instructions for your DRO brand (often in manual).

1. Press and Hold - Button 1 and 2 as per attached photo;

2. Screen will change the numbers - for example to 300;

3. Repossition the Cross cut stop to the new value by using magnified glass;

4. Press and Hold Button 1 and 2 as per photo;

5. Now the value on a screen should be the same as the magnified glass;

6. Digital read out is calibrated.
