THAT'S why your breaking screens!!!! You're setting your freaking part on them!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

lol.  the auto reg video for the mhm4000 is private.  Any way to make it not private?

i have a manual chameleon 8/8 with air clamps and i love the micors on it. They have the exact amount of resistance when you turn the knobs...nice and firm.

My ONLY wish is that there was only one knob to turn to push the screen inward or outward....if you never used one before , in order to move the screen outward and inward you have to turn the two "twist-screen-left-or-right" knobs in unison....and i have yet to pull a screen ONLY in or out...every time I do it i turn one knob to much or not enough and then have to now adjust the screen with the twist left or right.

did that make sense?

It makes perfect sense, and it's frustrating at times when having to make adjustments on the manual press compared to the auto.

So its the same micro reg situation on a m&r auto like on a m&r manual??

They are different where it matters most and that's the width apart from the two like axis movements.  The further apart those two are, the easier the micro movements are to judge.  At least that's been my experience.  It's all relative when comparing the micros on our auto to the sidewinder.  I don't like one mainly because what I know is the best I've ever dealt with so take that into consideration.

Yes side clamp do have the advantage there
being the longer leg. Rick F mentioned "true XY"
registration.

I don't want my post to be construed as the manual's micros don't work, clearly they do or they wouldn't be on every manual that M&R has ever made, but you need to use a few "tricks" to make them work as well as they can.  The threaded micros will do a great job in the end once you get used to using them where on our auto, the micros are much easier because you don't need as much time or experience to get them to work "true".
