I have an Enco Model 105-1145 21" Swing Geared-Head Mill/Drill. I wanted an attachment to fix a Dial Test Indicator in a collet. I wanted to use the arm off of a magnetic base indicator holder I had.
This was one of the first simple projects for my lathe.
.................
I turned a piece of round steel down so one end would fit into a 1/2 inch collet and the other end was turned to the same diameter as the vertical rod on the magnetic base indicator holder I had. Pretty simple project.
.................
Here is how it all goes together. This works fine, but I didn't like the fact
that I had to remove the cutting tool from the quill and it has some limitations as to how the indicator is located,
so I made the one that is on page 1 of this section.
