--- Quote from: joshagrady on June 13, 2011, 10:45:26 AM ---Somebody on this (or possibly another) forum once posted an extremely clever trick for finding the degree of taper in a conic object. First place the jaws of your Vernier caliper flat along the 123 at the 2" height. Measure the taper from that position. Next, rotate the block to the 3" position, replace the calipers and remeasure. The difference between the two measurements is the taper per inch. Obvious and brilliant. Now I just wish I could remember to whom the credit for the trick is owed. --- End quote --- You may have seen my explanation of that procedure on HMEM. |

Thanks Guys for all the responses, I'm keeping an eye out for a set or Just one block @ the Pawn shop, so I can look at making some for my Setup, I'm limited to my Unimat SL lathe mill so 1-2-3 are kinda big and I've found Either I make tooling for it or pay though the nose, Also I'm looking hard for a watchmaker's Lathe to replace this Monster machine that is too big by 4 times :) THanks for the ideas :) |
