I received my DG a couple of days ago and just now started the assembly process. Here's the question... the bearing pivot is off-center in relationship to the opening in the base. It does not rub the base at all, but is very noticeably off center. How did this look on yours?
I have a call in to Steve, but would like to assemble everything tonight, if possible. I will hold off on putting everything together until I confirm that this is OK. Any thoughts? Fit & finish is really excellent otherwise, so I am not sure whether this is a glitch or not.
BTW, I ordered the upgraded clamps (same as Aria and Opus) and these are definitely a big step up in their construction, action and precision. Glad I did it. Another poster said he got these as OEM clamps with his Maestro. If this is SOP, then this is the lockout machine to beat for the $$ IMO.
Other than my questions on the bearing pivot position, I think I will be a happy camper. Thanks!
