7 forum posts 5 photos	Interested in forum post on micro dials 11/05/2011. I acquired a very old ML7 some eight years ago & my first project, which i found very interesting, was to design & make an adjustable micro dial. Methods used & manufacture turned out to be very accurate & user friendly. All operations were carried out on the lathe. I attach 2 images which i trust will be helpful to any one aspiring to make their own adjustable dial. Gladly forward details if required. Bill.

7 forum posts 5 photos	Hi David, yes you are quite right, the plastic numbers are adhesive backed which i purchased from a local graphic's supply shop. Supprisingly, they have stood up to the wear & tear over the last eight years quite well. I deduece from your post that you already have adjustable dials?, however, if you do require any further information on the one's i made please let me know. Regards, Bill.
