Dial Indicator Carriage Stop

[Papa Charlie]

Makes my magnet backed dial indicators for my lathe look sad. But they hold very well and can be moved easily without tools.

I like the design of yours, you may find, if you have to move them often, that replacing the bolt with a knob to eliminate having to use a tool may be an advantage.

Abom was the first I saw use a DI on the right side for returning to the same spot and not relying on the dials because of slop. Sounds like a really useful thing to have.

@ Brino - so long as it works right!

I guess that was the mantra I used when I made mine......but you have just upped the stakes by making one both functional and beautiful.
