Bestand:Xx

We have several dial indicators in the metal woodshop. Consult http://www.mini-lathe.com/Measurement/Dial_indicators/Dial_indicators.htm or youtube for countless videos on how to use them. Or ask someone to show you.

I've you've never used these before (or are in doubt which one to use) then use the one in the big red box. It is the easiest and most versatile.

On Loan

Red-arm Dirk-Willem van Gulik. Gray boxed lever indicator: [Gebruiker:Aart|Aart]].

History

The small lever indicator and the black dial indicator where donated to the space in November 2020.

Repair

The thread on the M6 bolt holding the indicator on the arm (lower left in first picture) was gone. TIG-welded extra metal onto the damaged thread, ground/turned it to 6mm, re-cut M6 thread (20191226, AlexY)
