Did it come with any tools? Normally you would have a c-spanner and this would be used to move the spindle.

Not familiar with this model but I suspect the black collar where the sliding anvil comes out will loosen the sleeve, allowing you to 'zero' the tool correctly.

These usually do not need adjusting and such a big error as yours could be caused by dropping the instrument. Check that the measuring surface (called anvils) meet 'flat' otherwise it will never measure correctly. This can be straightened but needs a machinist to do it well.

Did not come with any tools and there is a small screw on the side as well.6fd062700138b04de3c041d0603165a7.jpg

If you can remove the set screw and move the index barrel round that may solve.

These are pretty simple tools and are meant to come apart for cleaning. To work well they need to be greased and function smoothly. A binding tool may give the impression that the tool is up close to the item being measured when its actually the tool binding.

Good luck!

Don't use grease. Maybe some 9010 would work best. To thick grease or oil and it won't work.

Is the small screw next to the Zero the Set Screw?

Loosen that a little and you can turn it to zero the  scale. Make sure the parts are clean and the measuring pins are clean . Or what they are called. No need to loosen anything where the friction pin is i think.

I'll try that, thanks

      I’ve tried everything using both my blue and donut demag units.  I’ve even tried beating them with a steel hammer 🙂   im now trying heating them over gas flame — if that doesn’t work …..

      The 110v supply could be problem with the blue one. Have you tried moving the piece to demag through different orientations manually as its drawn away ? As Nev quoted the magnetic fields of the demag have to overcome those of the steel.

      Thank you Marc! I re ran the TG. First I went ahead and checked the balance jewel on the regulator and it was bone dry. I cleaned and oiled it, not without some drama including pinging the capstone and searching my bench with a black light for 30 minutes and finally shone it on my face and looked in the mirror only to find it on my left cheek in my 2 day growth! Back in and on the Grapher we are at 275. However significant drop in DD (234) and CR (190 edited) positions tells me it's time for a complete cleaning and oiling.

      My $12 blue one seems to work well enough for movements out of case. However for  tools with greater mass, such as my small and large anvils which are highly magnetized the blue unit is useless.   For whatever reason, my high current K&D donut unit just doesn’t seem to work, regardless of my attempts to use it as instructed in this thread (magnetizes stuff fine so I know it is energized).

      PUW1563 is the day/date version of the 1561 (date only). I have just measured a 1561 using the old "blob of paint on the rim" technique to determine the actual amplitude by observation, and then putting it on my TG and adjusting the TG lift angle until the displayed amplitude matches the observed amplitude. I get 48°. Not a million miles away but it will have overstated the amplitude by about 20° with the TG set to 52° (I tried that as well for completeness). So with a more appropriate lift angle set on your TG you would have got an amplitude reading of about 240°.
