Hello,
I bought a used Starret Last Word Indicator and the accessories on eBay.
I tried to tram my mill today with the Indicator in a collet and noticed I could only get the tip to deflect "down" =away from the dial face.--so I had to use a mirror to read the dial when tramming the mill to the vise.
--looked on the internet and there is apparently a "reversing lever" so the indicator tip will deflect "up" so I can read the dial without a mirror. I don't want to force anything on this indicator-- can someone tell me more about the reversing lever -- ?
(I'd post a pic of the indicator but my shop is 30 min away right now!)
Thanks in advance for the help.
