eBay surfing...

[Screwdriver]

I often while away an evening surfing eBay. Not looking for anything in particular, you never know what you're gonna get.

Sometimes you don't even know what you've got!

LOL.

Ideas please. I'm going to decorate my surface plate with it.

It's just a dti stand. Long base so it can sit across ways etc.

It's a comparator stand. Can be a DTI stand and that's what I use mine for but it's true purpose is for comparative measurement of parts. The two items in the middle which fit in the tee slots are stops to rest the item you're measuring against.

Big question is,how much of your pocket money did you spend on it

They ain't worth a lot. Couple of months ago a tidy one didn't sell for £20, then didn't sell for £15, then finally went for £10 on eBay. Usual speculators want 100-ish for them but not

Tenner.

I'll find a use for it on the surface plate and/or on the lathe. Looking forwards to cleaning it up a bit too.

Mount an LED light on it? Or perhaps you have eyesight like an eagle, unlike some of us........

Haha. No sadly, they're getting old too.

But this looks like a nice old school quality piece of kit and when it's cleaned up, should look pretty decent. Might use it for scraping practice too.

If it fits nicely between the ways, it could end up setting tool height on the lathe and for general DTI duties.
