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:

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!
