Hi Bill and Achim,This coaxial indicator looks very useful and has been added to my 'to do' list Do you find it more convenient to have the dial facing forward of facing upward? I am thinking about the view of the dial, when you swing it through 360 degrees.Mike
Well the beauty of a coax indicator is that the dial stays in one place and doesn't swing through 360 degrees.Bill
Hi Bill,thanks for the link to your drawings.It seems that I have downloaded the same set some time ago, I think via MadModder.During the last summer I have redrawn everything in Fusion 360 and I have started the making now.For me the information of the real shape and dimension of the rocker was a bit weak, so I have imported the picture into Fusion and the software has calculated everything by given the dimension of a known whole, 4 mm.Progress will be shown here.
Chris that are great for things like aligning the RT to the mill spindle. The only downside is they require a lot of headroom, but perfect for Bridgeport type mills.Bill
Bill's design looks like it needs less headroom than my SPI unit. So yeah it could work with the taller column. Bill
