Saddle Stop Indicator Mount

(1/3) > >>

Corvus corax:
I've been using this little gadget for a while now and I'm pretty happy with it.
Finally managed to get the wife to take pictures of it. :)
I was inspired by:

After redrawing the diagram in Metric I attacked one piece of Aluminium scrap with the Einhell Mini Mill. Which resulted in this:


I added the carriage bolt to use as a form of adjustable depth stop.

Or I can swap it out for the Dial Indicator, as shown below.

Hopefully in the next year I will get my anodizing set up going and anodize it.

It's not much as far as a project goes but it's very useful and I highly recommend it to anyone with a 9x20 lathe.

Powder Keg:
Great Job!!! I keep threatening to make a couple of those for my lathes.

ibuildstuff4u:
Looks great!  I made a couple of them my self last year.  One is set up as a carriage stop and the other sports a 2" dial indicator.  

Keep up the good work.

Corvus corax:
Thanks guys. If anyone has a Dial indicator setup for the mini mill, horizontal axis not vertical, I would be interested in seeing it. I've heard guys joke about having an ARO on their mills table instead of a DRO but noone has ever posted pics.

Boucher:
This Micrometer stop came with my lathe but it would not be hard to copy. For imperial measurements a 20 tpi thread is 0.050 per revolution. This thing is stout enough that it makes it very easy to face a part to a very accurate dimension.
