The Mikrokator & Comparator Stand arrived this morning. Its physically much larger than I thought. The stand weighs 23 lbs. and the support tube is 12 inches tall with a 2 inch diameter.
I opened the box with trepidation, because earlier this week I noticed that I missed the fact that did not see the indicator hand on the dial. My concerns were wrong, as both the indicator and fine adjustment on the stand turned out to work just fine. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment, and not sure what I am going to do with it, except maybe check the accuracy of some gage blocks. Suggestions ?
A good clean up is in order, and the stand could use a repaint, but I'm not complaining as it all works. Sorry about the dark photos, its another dull dreary day here in the UK.
