Zero-It Indicator Holder Finished

That is a nice job. I made a couple of those several months ago. They come in handy. I used the same plans but modified it just a little. I added nylon bearing washers to the screw and made the block to fit my last word indicator. I think the plans are in the drawings forum.

again, congratulations on an excellent job.
 
Very nice looking work Mark. Congratulations.
 
Beautiful work ... for years (out of laziness mostly) I've used a boring head as a poor man's indicator holder. Your project may be the one that shames me into making a proper one ! Thanks for posting the nice photos -
 
Very nice work, thanks for the link to the plans I am adding one of these to my "to do list".

Thank you for your praise. Compared to your projects it is pretty small and sort of pitiful. I especially enjoyed your build of that spectacular Bonelle grinding jig. Now I understand what the drawings mean. I'm surprised that my thread awakened after three years.

You will be pleased with how nicely it centers things under the spindle. The previous contraption it replaced came really close to meeting my really big ball-peen hammer. :chunky:

Randyc, thank you for your comments. I've been happy with the device as it is pretty easy to use. I never thought of using a boring head ... that is actually a good idea.

That indicator holder is by no means a simple project. I consider it one of the more difficult as you have to have great accuracy for the parts to fit and work. My first attempt at making it was a pitiful disaster. If you can make this holder, you can make anything.
 
Nice work Mark, having the right tools make the Jobs and life much easier
Way to go
