Table Leveling gage

[Bill Gruby]

I made this a while back and had to use it this morning. It for zeroing any machine table. The white cylinder in the first picture is for setting the two gages to the same zero. It only takes a couple of hours to make one.

Multiple choice answer, you choose.


#1 Ah, that. I have a "Franistan" that is slightly larger than the "Henway" that it goes into. I use the "Shoehorn" to assemble them.

#2 I work with some very close Tollerances and that is an assembly tool.

#3 I use it to put my shoes on.

#4 All of the above.

I thought it might be to help stretch that dollar bill laying there! I bet you don't have any luck with that either but I commend you for trying still!!!

Good gracious sakes alive everyone knows that the shoe horn is for putting your shoe back on after you chew the swarf out of your foot.

Mine looks just like that, except move the center pin out to one end to replace one of the DIs. I use a back-plunger DI so I can read it no matter where it is.
Also being longer, it magnifies the differences.

I know this is an old thread, not trying to murder the bump, but that's awesome, sounds like a project I'll need soon

That zero set tool idea is pretty slick
