Coax indicator design
BillTodd:
Rocker on :headbang:
Managed to get the slot cut and the rocker made.
I was wondering how to grind the involute curve on the tips of the rocker when this idea struck...
I stuck a disc of emery to the bottom of the indicator body, assembled the lot into the lathe chuck, then ground the tips in situ :)
BillTodd:
I thought you might like to see how I quickly centre my rotary table.
I found a expanding clamp, the type used to fix pulleys to shafts, that conveniently fits the MT3 hole in my rotab and fits the 10mm end of my little edge detector.
I can pop the clamp in to the hole in the rotab, lower the edge detector in to the clamp, nip it up finger tight, then by either sighting or feeling the two parts of the edge detector , I can align the centre to about 1 thou" or so.

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

Bugger! Well I knew who I meant, just a keyboard problem. Appologies...
I'll nut out some sketches of some sort for interest, maybe for the Mk2.

Almost ready to test...
Made the little probe holder this evening. The plastic wheel in the photo will be replaced later with a lever (I think).

Sounds good :)
John, Does your Blake device have a spring to bottom the body, or does it, like mine, rely on weight?
