AKA the tool that made itself :lmao: I seen a tramming tool/fixture on HSM so I thought I'd try my hand at one. Benny was going through some of my treasures from the scrap yard and found an aluminum bar that in another life was an air manifold of some type and had 3 equally spaced holes in one face centered to the part in all directions and drilled and tapped on both ends for grub screws. All I had to do was buy one more dial indicator and open the holes to the proper size. The shaft that mounts it to the mill was basically a finished product also just had to change the bolt in the end of it. That shaft needs to be turned on my lathe to standard sizes as it is metric right now.
I'm gonna take it to where I used to work and use a V block and height gauge to set the indicators equally.
