Indicator Sag: How Do You Deal With This?

A tapered hollow inside hole may have eliminated some of the flex due to gravity on your indicator holder, the diameter and cross section needs to get thinner so it is lighter at the end. They talk about this and test bars in the Connelly book....Tim

A tapered hole? Please elaborate.
 
Its on figure 16.4 in the Connelly book, basically you make the test bar hollow, but the inside in not straight/parallel its tapered as it gets towards the ends. The diameter retains the stiffness where a solid shaft will sag....Tim
