Still have a use! Especially on lathe workClearing through a draw of might be useful bits and found a set of toolmaker's buttons which got me wondering if anyone still uses these for setting out. Have they been made totally obsolete by modern digital devices?
I bet most nowadays wouldn't even know what toolmakers buttons are!
Thank you for that, made things clearer.
You set them with jo blocks or height gauge then clock them in on the machine . Idea for faceplate or four jaw work and when there isn’t a dro available but jig bore precision is requiredJebuz, like watching paint dry. Still non the wiser, gave up, skipped forward, gave up again.
Will likely give them a miss.
