Hi Guys,
As some of you may know from other threads I am in the process of refurbishing a collet closer and modifying to fit my lathe. To do this I need to reverse engineer a part. What I've got stuck with is the measurement of this angle:
Now the angle isn't critical so in practice I could probably just guess however I would like to know how to measure it properly for future reference. As it is I currently have some modelling clay setting in it figuring that I can use an angle gauge to determine the angle however I would prefer a direct method of measurement for convenience. Another thought I had would be to chuck it up, offset the compound and run an indicator on the angle but again I would be interested in other methods.
So, how would you measure this?
