    Where to buy fractional dial indicator?

    not a caliper, but rather one of these: http://grizzly.com/products/Magnetic-Base-w-Indicator-1-Travel/G9623 with fractional graduations, instead of decimal. And an analog unit, not digital. I've been googling all over and am starting to wonder if they exist? I'm surprised if they don't...

    power carving - foot pedal versus dial for speed control

    I have a cheap import Foredom knock off hanging motor rotary carver. The foot pedal was basically junk, bet I reshaped the sheet metal so it wouldn't keep coming apart and I insulated it because it was delivering a minor shock at times (yeah, I know you get what you pay for). What makes that...

    Shop-Made Dial Indicator Holder

    Here we go again! From WOOD magazine October 2005. My old Walker-Turner jointer does not have jack screws, so I used the Jointer Pal jig to install the blades. This jig will be used to confirm the blades are adjusted to the correct height. I checked my blade height and found highest point was...

    Magnetic Base

    The WOOD plan specified two 3/4'' diameter magnets. Most likely, some magnets are better than others, but two wasn't enough! I used a stack of three 1'' magnets on each end, and two stacks of 3/4'' magnets in the center.

    Shop-Made Dial Indicator Holder

    The magazine plan specified #8 wood screw to hold the dial-indicator in place, but it did not work all that well for me. I used a 1/4'' lag bolt with a wing nut instead.

    Dial Indicator for General Setup

    I borrowed a friend's dial indicator to check out the tolerances on my new Rikon bandsaw wheel and realized this is a useful tool. The one I used resolved to 0.0001 inches, which seems a bit much for WW setup. I had considered purchasing this from Grizzly...
