Dave,
I see your point, and makes sense, actually watching the machine sneak up to the measurement .... good one!

Digital is jumpy, and needs finessing to get it right, will keep this mode in mind.


Thanks,
Greg

I'll definitely be stealing that idea Dave. Thanks
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I just remembered that I have a 2" DI kicking around in a drawer that I have never used. It came with a small granate stand I purchased to mount the Mitutoyo Digimatic Indicator that I got for a steal on eBay Big Grin

I think I can see how you have done it but a few more pictures would be good Dave.

Probably easier than following Apple's lead and adding a sticker that reads "Designed by ... in California..."

Three more.

       

   

I didn't take any photos during the making/ assembly but if any one needs some I can take it off the milling machine and take some Smile

Thanks wawoodman, Mine came today and I got it set up. Haven't figured where exactly I want to put the readout yet though. See video below.
