I'm interested in making a squareness comparator, the kind that's like a surface gauge, but with a ball or curve on the front edge. My question is how do you adjust the tip of the DTI to be in the middle of that ball or curve? I would expect having it offset would throw off the test, because if I have the pointer to the left of the center of a ball bearing, if I were to have the base at an angle to the left of perpendicular with the the surface I was testing, it would have a larger reading than if I'd had the base at an angle to the right.
I see the column type seems designed with a radius on the front that matches the radius the indicator would be at, so that solves that, but what about the ball bearing in the V-groove type?
Set me straight!
