Several years ago I watched Joe Piezinski doing some lathe work. He used a magnetic indicator the likes of which I have never seen before. It worked awesome. In particular, I love how they swing in and out of action to a set gauging location.
I sent Joe a note asking where he got it. He told me that it was a US General 387 but that it was discontinued. He suggested that I watch for one to come up on the internet. One did come up a few tears ago, but I was grossly outbid and lost out. It went for over a thousand. That's just plain ridiculous.
I later asked Joe to consider making one on a video. He thought there wouldn't be enough interest.
My question here is: Does anyone here happen to have one of these indicator holders and would they mind posting some photos and dimensions so I can take a shot at making one?
Better yet, does anyone have one that they want to sell? And no, I won't pay a grand for it but would pay a reasonable sum.
