Milling machine tram tool
fatal-exception:
:update:
Here's mine. I deviated from the plan slightly as far as the shape goes. I adjusted a fly cutter to make the grooves in the body in a single pass. After I did the front and back, I was having so much fun I flipped the part and did the top and bottom too. I really don't like the yellow anodizing. I 'perpendicularized' the spindle post the same way Bogs did, on the faceplate of the lathe, and good thing.
The milling head of the big mill is out a bit in both directions, which can now be accurately adjusted.
If course, it can be used to tram the tailstock of the lathe too. Mine's way out in both directions:
I haven't checked my cnc router yet, but I know that it's out a bit, and it can be used to accurately set the drill press table too.
All I need to do is make a nice fitting, foam filled box for it.... :headbang:

Paul,
A question from an electrician with no previous machining experience
About checking the lathe tail/head stock, how do you know which is out tail or head?
:Doh:
Bill.

Nice job, Paul :thumbup: . I quite like the yellow, too.
You need one of John Hill's cushiony boxes to keep it safe:

Just wondering how you reference those clocks to the bottom face of the gadget. They just seem to stick out (scientific expression :bugeye: ) a long way.
