| thecogwheel:
I made a depth arm for my 2 beam height gauge (note that I spelled gauge correctly :)): There is also a video: Now my height gauge is a lot more useful! The pin is threaded (4-48) for standard indicator ends. It was a fun project. For personal therapeutic value I decided to use the shaper. I would set it and try to walk away and do something else but I just found myself watching it go back and forth curling a nice chip each stroke. What do they say, simple things for simple minds or something like that. I turned the pin between centres, and I was quite pleased with how tightly the import lathe I had held tolerance. Drawings on are my blog: https://thecogwheel.net/2017/01/16/height-gauge-depth-arm/ Here is the link to the Youtube page: https://youtu.be/yPNjlqHtmzo |

Very nice project! Well sorted. Eric |
| NormanV:
I am interested that you make a point of spelling gage(sic) correctly but use strange dimenshuns for the threads (4x48) I have never understood that. Vive la difference! |
