Huh. Paid £140 for that pre COVID.

Great idea and nice work.

Thanks, For harder materials I put a tube over the lever for more power, but this can lead to chatter. I reckon a larger more rigid design with a geared lever (maybe a rack) would be very useful.

Gears can be made, even ones integral with a shaft, plenty good enough for low speed use. Spot the chatter, more rigid needed.

One for the terminally bored perfectionists amongst you lot, spot the mistake!

Diameter

Marker line is wider than the graduation lines?

Someone has stamped 70 then realised it should have been 60?

 

[Shox Dr]

there are 5 lines between 55 and 60

It might have been easier to spot had the error been visible in the previous post. Not ten posts before...

Specsavers looses another customer!

I made that in dial 2013, but didn't spot the error until last year, good job I don't rely on it when creeping up on the diameter of a critical part.

Apologies for the hijack @Cato,

Apologies for the hijack @Cato,

No worries, I don't think it counts as a hijack on here anyway. It was about lathes after all and not 'Inuit Kayaks and why they're not suitable for using in a Jacuzzi whilst eating Yorkshire puddings which contrary to popular opinion are actually cakes' or something.
