| Making a straight edge from an old surface plate |
| (1/1) |
| Andrew Wildman:
As part of my grinder rebuild I needed a dovetail straight edge. I was loathed to mess with one of the camelbacks (non dovetail type) that I have and finding one used was not happening, so I made one from an old surface plate. Here is a quick video showing the build: :D :D :D |

| Biggles:
Excellent Andrew |
| PekkaNF:
Vey good. I may need to do something similat, just haven't found prefab. material. You have other widgets in pipeline? Pekka |
| Andrew Wildman:
Other widgets: I have to measure the table dovetail and the carriage double bed way to ensure that are parallel, orthogonal etc. I have a few ideas how to do this involving indicators, squares and of course widgets! |
