Looks like it has a specific use, and wondered if anyone knows what that is? |

3631 forum posts 160 photos | There is a stop in the V block formed by the base so it could be used to check a dimension off a round or square bar with some shape on the end. It will also sit flat on a surface plate so could be used for checking thickness and it just happens to have the V block type facility. I'd guess that is most likely. John - |

570 forum posts 18 photos | This is a comparator set up. Usually set up with slip gauges to compare the job being measured against the slips. Where possible It should be adjusted so that the plunger does not need to be lifted each time but the job slid under and through to give a wiping action to ensure no dust build-up on the plunger. The measuring anvil would have a spherical end to facilitate this Colin |
