I see. There's not much you can do about that other than return it. I don't know which design the HF version uses. The Wixey is mechanical/digital and the Beall Tilt Box is all digital. I recall that the Wixey had some problems with the pendulum sticking, (I think) and/or maybe some other electronic problem. My first Beall had a problem with the buttons being so stiff that it was difficult to zero. But that was from the first batch made and J.R. Beall quickly replaced it with one from another batch that has worked perfectly.
Is that HF digital indicator a digital dial indicator? I've seen one or two companies now selling a fractional digital dial indicator but since I use a dial indicator for very precise, high resolution measuring I don't see much use in only measuring to 1/128". But a digital decimal mode is very useful and I may just pick one of those up to replace the HF analog dial indicator I have.
If you Wixey is consistently off you should contact Wixey about it. I'll bet they send you a new one. I've never heard of any of these types of gauges being off like that.
