Tramming made easy!!!!

I'm making my own.

I just pressed a .500 rod into a hole in an aluminum bar. I've already used it by locking a couple indicators on the bar with little Kant Twist clamps. When it's finished, it'll just be prettier, with a radius around the rod, and have a row of threaded holes to screw down the indicators at various diameters. You just take the back off the indicator, rotate it 90 degrees, and screw it back on to get the mounting bracket to face up/down rather than left/right.

You put a gauge block on the table with one indicator on it, zero that indicator, then spin it around so the other indicator is on the block, zero the second indicator, then use them to check the table. The indicators don't even have to be the same brand, much less exactly the same height.
