Tool Gloat! Free

[SubGuy]

Got this from work. The guy from one of the companies out there was going to throw this away. It has never been used at all, I cut the manufactures tape off the box.

I got plenty of those "NASA" guys floating around down here. AND LET ME TELL YOU, I ABSOLUTELY............






Like those guys. I'm gonna ask one of my Machinist buddies from work to help me. I actually got 4 of them, gave three to those guys so they owe me a favor or two. I picked kept the one with the most gizmos (even though I don't know what they are :eusa_doh for myself. I got a vague idea of how to use it, but I'm gonna see if they have a magnetic base they can give me or something.

Free tools rock! :eusa_danc But what is it??? :icon_scra

What kind of fool would throw that away? And you got 4 of them? Did I read that right?

Now you can see how sloppy your drill press is.

Actually, not terrible useful in woodworking. A one inch travel dial indicator would be a lot more helpful or even a depth micrometer set.

You might do better to trade that for something you need.

Can't I check saw blade rotation? I know I can use it to check alot of other things as well...at least that's what my machinist friends told me.

New for FREE will always trump "do I have a use for this?" :icon_thum

Check the back of the indicator. If it doesn't have an etched "S" (for Starrett) with a double circle around it, it's a cheap knockoff. These imitations are VERY inaccurate. I collect these imitations items as curiosities, I'll give you $10 for it to ease the pain.... :rolf:

Nice score Zach. Tools good, free tools better! :tool:

 

[Skymaster]

You can check concentricity of your arbor, ( :}:} runout }, fence to blade Ie: parallism. height,depth. set jointer blades, ultra precision fence movements etc HOWEVER Zach this is why I said ya gotta send it up here so I can verify it and then I can teach ya :rotflm::rotflm::rotflm:
