Old, Unique or New

I like Lukin also.

A couple of micrometers. The 1" was my fathers and I used it as my daily mic until I retired. The 1"-2" has never been used. Been on a cabinet shelf in the shop for decades.

I've never used a Lufkin mike, but I've heard good things.

Several Lufkin adjustable go/no go gages.

Okay back the unique tools.

A couple of gages for measuring 60 degree centers.





Here's one for measuring 82 degree countersinks.



Starrett taper gage



SPI magnetic edge finder. Stick it on the corner of the part and indicate the hole.




I have to charge the batteries in my camera so I think we should let some other members play for a while. We might be intimidating them wil all our toys.

This was a find in an old shed. Box was rotted away but had protected the tool from most of the elements.

It is a Starret 696Z, it is missing the flyweight.

Not pictured is an older Starret 124AZ. and also have a small assortment of Kent Moore tools for cars and trucks. Pre 1970 mostly. If anybody has a old catalogue for Kent Moore, I would like to check the numbers for application.

Harvey,

Are those Kwik Check hole gauges or chamfer gauges?

Here's the biggest indicator that I own. It's an AGD group 4 Lufkin 0-20-0, with .0005" graduations and a .100" range. Not sure what I'll ever use it for but it's pretty cool. Unfortunately it's also missing the crystal. I need to get busy and make one.

Harvey,

They are hole gauges, the ones with the little fingers on the end will read into a countersink, the other set only works when the hole has no deburring or countersink.

Here's a NOS Lufkin Dial Indicator.



And a NOS Lufkin Dial Test Indicator. This is a V32 model, meaning 0.032" total travel with 0.0001 resolution.
