Hi Billy G,
Thank you for your input.
I am doing this not only for my benefit but because it affects all owners of Coax indicators,
Most owners just say "OH" I am happy with mine, But have never tested it. So I do not find there answers very useful.
Are you happy with what the manufacturer tells you ?? Think VW ??
The test is simple.
Short feeler.
Zero radius.
Ensure the feeler travel is horizontal.
Load the end of the feeler against the tool post a little with the cross slide.
Zero all .
Move the cross slide untill the indicator moves 10 divisions.
Take the cross slide reading and divide by 10.
Compare with what the manufacturer says.
Now who will be the first person with a Blake or any other "Quality" indicator to set the standard.
