Indicator Holder For Quill?

[rherrell]

I did mine a little different. While the original clamp probably would have worked I decided to make a reducer...

I bored a piece of aluminum to match the spindle diameter and then cut it in half and bolted it to the clamp... it ain't pretty but it works!!

For my "mini" Noga I use that plate you see in the photos, for my "regular" Noga I just drilled and tapped the original clamp.

That turned out nice.

Here is how I did mine.

I started the adapter with a 30-degree taper which will reside in the Indicol spindle mount.

I then tapped 6mmx1.0 threads into the adapter and threaded a rod to be used with a knurled thumbnut.

Threading the stud.

Stud threaded.

Adapter, stud, small taper and knurled thumbnut shown.

I then moved over to the milling machine and installed the adapter into a collet block to machine the flat on the adapter and to drill/tap the 5mmx.8 hole.

Adapter completed and installed into the Indicol spindle mount bracket.

NOGA NF61003 removed from the magnetic base and threaded onto the adapter and Indicol mount.

Installed on spindle and tested.
