[How do I?] Sector Arms on a Dividing Head

[HMF]

So I know that you use the sector arms to measure how much to move the pointer on the dividing head. Do you count from the inside of the sector arm or outside? Is there an easy way to move it for larger numbers?

Thanks,


Nelson

Nelson,

To take a page out of an old high school text book (literally), check out this explanation.


For those more pdf-minded, here it is in that format.

The book is Machine Shop Training (Second Edition)1967 McGraw-Hill.

Awesome! Thanks!

Wondering if that book can still be bought.

I got it at a used book sale. It had been marked for destruction.

One place I check for out of date, old text books, etc. is Abe Books http://www.abebooks.com/


Hope that helps,
