Coax indicator design
BillTodd:
Well Today I turned up a few of the parts....
The shaft and DTI holder are 316 stainless, the body is in an unidentified bronze. I'm pleased with the fit of the shaft, but I'll have to drill an air hole in the middle 'cos the thing acts like a piston pump ATM.
Tomorrow, I'll fire-up the milling machine.
BillTodd:
What's that saying about best laid plans...
I was only able to assemble the the parts I had already made. The mechanism seems to work OK, I get about 0.12" of indicator movement between the top and bottom positions of the shaft.
Brass_Machine:
The turning work looks good. Anxious to see how this works out for you.

Looks like you are making a nice job of it Bob. Sorry I didn't have time to offer my suggestions over the weekend, I got bogged down in domestic drudgery... and now you are well on the way with your own design, I don't want to distract you from your purpose.
I'll watch with interest.

I'm sure Bob will make a far better job of it than I ever will :)

Don't let that stop you ;) I already have ideas for a second version, I'd love to see what you had in mind.
