Thread: Newbie Question -What's This?

24/08/2020 16:02:00

Can anyone tell me what this device is used for? I am familiar with the dial indicator but cannot work out what this setup is used for. The Indicator is screwed to the base using the back cover screw locations. The back and bottom of the base unit appears to be ground flat and square and the bottom probe is fixed. I inherited 2 of these units along with tooling for a LeBlond 10" Regal Lathe. I have worked out what most of the tooling is for but not this bit! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your encouraging replies. I have my first daft question which I will try and find an appropriate Topic to post on.

Hello everyone. I am a 66 year old retired RAF helicopter pilot who is trying to learn basic engineering techniques. My father was a RAF engineering apprentice and gave me a good grounding. 15 years ago I inherited a LeBlond 10” Regal lathe along with some tooling. I recently purchased a Warco WM 16 Mill and am busy teaching myself to use it and collecting tooling. I have converted my single garage into a workshop and enjoy pottering about and making the odd tool. Plan to add DRO to the mill and continue my self learning apprenticeship. Would like to get to the stage where I can start to build a steam engine from a castings kit.
