Newbie again - thanks for tolerating my many questions. I really do have many questions, and asking helps me get my minimum posts in for broader forum access too ;-)
Weighing the advantages and disadvantages of two different tramming tools for use with a Little Machine Shop HiTorque 3960 Mini Mill on order- I would appreciate comments.
Mini Pro Tram The Mini Pro Tram by Edge Technology has all the same great features of the full size Pro Tram but in a smaller package. The unit is perfectly sized for bench-top and mini-mill machines.
Patent Pending
Specifications
Nano-Tram Combo Nano-Tram allows you to quickly and accurately check and align the spindle of a vertical mill perpendicular to the machine table without disturbing the work set-up. This tool works with any bench top vertical mill that will accept a 1/4" tool in the spindle.The Nano-Tram Base works on most bench top mills and straddles most bench-top mill accessories. This tool is precision ground flat and parallel to .0003" over entire surface and is made from C1020 HR steel. Inside dimensions for Nano-Tram Base are 6.44" between legs x 3.9" underneath gaging surface x 4.0" wide. Material thickness is .375". The Nano-Tram top is 3.45" in diameter with a .250" diameter shank that is .90" long. Overall height of the tool is 1.375". Shank is perpendicular to the face within .0003".
