How to fix nonlinear readings on Dillon Measuring Instruments?
Nonlinear readings on your Dillon Measuring Instruments can be caused by a bent bar or worn gauge movement. Try replacing the pressure bar or the gauge movement to correct this issue.
What to do if Dillon AP Measuring Instruments is high on low end, low on high end?
If your Dillon Measuring Instruments reads high on the low end and low on the high end, it could be due to a bad pressure arm. Replacing the gauge movement is the suggested solution.
Why does the pointer jump in my Dillon Measuring Instruments?
If the pointer jumps, it might be because the bearings or pointer are rubbing on the dial face. To resolve this, try cleaning the bearings, applying one drop of LPS on the bearing, or replacing the gauge movement.
What to do if max hand will not rotate smoothly on Dillon AP Measuring Instruments?
If the max hand doesn't rotate smoothly, the spring might be too tight or rusty/corroded. The suggested solution is to replace the max hand assembly.
Why Dillon Measuring Instruments Won’t repeat?
If your Dillon Measuring Instruments won't repeat, it could be due to bad bar bearings that are worn, rusty, or dirty. Replacing the bearings in the pressure bar might solve this. Another possible cause is a worn gauge movement, in which case you should replace the gauge movement.
