Posted a couple of video tips today

[Parlo]

Posted one video to show how to production mill a batch of parts in a vice without cleaning the clamping area in the vice.

Posted another to show how simple it can be to indicate parts on a lathe.

Hope you find the tips useful.

Brilliant! Never ceases to amaze me how many absolutely simple ideas we overlook just because someone showed us a different way first.

Of course <facepalm>!

Use the tailstock to hold the indicator..... why have I been doing it wrong all these years?

Thanks for posting!

Geez, that indicating solution is so simple I feel like a dope for never having thought of it! Bravo!
