What Else Can I Use This For?

[GBrackett]

I got this to help simplify the setup of my G0704. The one I got works with a 4" jaw vise. Now that it's setup is there anything else I can use it for?

Aligning skateboard wheels/trucks
Tomato sizer (go/no go) for consistent tomatoes
Check for wear on golf or tennis balls

Now this one I can do! LOL

Yes, I was thinking CHRISTmas tree ornament, too.
But doubling as a tomato checker, that's hard to beat.
One thing you could seriously use it for is checking the shaft alignment across a coupling. If the coupling was that small, anyway.

Aside from the veggie applications, you can use it to precisely align angled parts held in a vise or a sine/angle table. This is a good tool, despite the obvious ribbing.

Well...if it should become and encumbrance, and albatross around your neck....send it my way, I'll find a use for it.

You set a vise up with it?

It`s nice to have the drill-press table square too.
I use the drill press for starting taps to minimize tap breakage (and bad language!) and it needs to be set up right.

In fact, be sure to check both directions on the drill press table. It is amazing how much the table nods or drops just from not having the column lock tightened during use!

Yes. First I squared my table to quill. Then I used it to setup my vise. It requires a very thin shim on one side.
