Tip 44—An indicator holder from a 7600 tool post--Dan Pines

 

An indicator held in the round hole of the P/N 7600 3/8" tool post is held on the part's centerline. (Click on image to view a larger version.)

The 3/8" tool holder is very versatile, and I have found several uses for it—from holding an end mill to boring work to assembling a dividing head on it. Another convenient use is for holding an indicator. The shaft of my (far east origin) indicator is 8 mm. I made a sleeve, slit lengthwise to fit over its shaft and into the 3/8" bore of the tool holder. It is especially convenient for indicating along the length of the work.
