I've the Sherline DRO on the lathe. It still slip (rotate) once in a while causing my reading to be out. Painful at times. I also find the handwheels now harder to turn. Tried sanding down some places in contact with the handwheels but didn't help. Feels like ripping it off and use those linear type.
Sorry for the OT.
Regards,
Wong

The difference is backlash -- its just reading the handwheels for you. Doesn't matter to me, though. Having spent a working lifetime running out the lash every time I turn a handwheel, it's so ingrained in the muscle memory of my hands I find I can't force myself not to do it.
