I have a Littlemachines lathe with really awful DROs.? ?They use V389 batteries that last about a minute.? ?I have the following questions:
Is there any way of locking them? I have dicovered that my cheap HF digital calipers last a LOT longer on batteries if I carefully tighten the lock screw down after shutting them off. But they¡¯re pretty much sitting on my desk in a pencil holder all the time or in a drawer on my bench, since I discovered that putting them back in the case turned them on constantly.
