Gordon,

I like the idea for the height stand. It would be useful to use next to a machine when making multiple parts to avoid running back and forth to the surface plate. An indicator added to the jaw could make it into a GO/NO-GO gauge. :thinking:

Thanks Tom but I beat you to it :) I've made a small accessory that holds an indicator. Interested in seeing a picture of it?

Don't know if I'm misunderstanding you re go/NoGo gauge. To me it's something that says "too small, OK or too big" and doesn't measure anything. Like a Go/NoGo thread gauge.

Yup, that would be real handy for making parts in quantity. Just set the nominal height with the digital caliper and set the pointers on the indicator for the max/min range of the tolerance.

I think this is one of the coolest gadget/accessory/tool not yet on the market:drool: I think you have a real money maker there. Brilliant idea:high5::drink::worship::tiphat: I see a big hit there in the mail order Biz.
 
I've taken a regular nut and turned it round, then epoxied it into a drilled hole in instances like that. Not super strong, but should be good for that.
 
The height stand is a great idea. But, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the garden table. The fold up seat idea is another great one.
