It is definitely weird problem. I will not drill or cut anything yet. I mean, if someone decided to build a scope focal length of the primary would be the most important measurement on the whole scope. To get such an important dimension wrong seems like a big mistake even for a beginner.
It is out by at least 20 mm !!
I have some basic knowledge about optics, so the focal point of the primary must fall on the secondary within a couple of mm....

Erick, thanks again for your idea to center-spot the primary. It worked good, except for finding binder reinforcement ring. I went to officeworks to get them but the only kind they stock now is transparent rings !!! Kinda bad feature if you need to clearly see them.

I will wait for some more opinions about the focal length issue...
