Crossfeed Travel Indicator...
- Thread starter CueCaps
- Start date
Clearance for the HeadStock..
The Mounting is positioned to barely clear the back of the HeadStock Plate.
The carrage can be brought right up next to the chuck.
The Bracket also clears the extended Jaws of the Chuck when opened
to the 1" + sizes..
If you drill the 1/4" bolt hole little more up the long leg of the Bracket, you can mount the Router Bracket closer toward the front, making the leg of the Router Bracket a stop for the carrage, keeping you from inadvertantly cranking the Carrage into the chuck...

Hi Gary,
Just showing. I remember a post about the accuracy of the Hand Feed Dial.
The Router Bracket can be bought from Lee at Brianna...
1" Travel Indicator is cheap when buying the Mag Base/Indicator Combo Deal from
any of the Tool Suppliers..

So how does it compare to the hand feed dial now that you have both?
Mr H <-- thinking he knows the answer
Hello Mr. H....
The Hand dial has no line, so, I gotta pick a spot and reference there.
Could easily scribe a line..
Yes, the hand wheel is accurate.. it feeds 1 for 2.
Some might feel more comfortable reading off a Dial..
There's backlash/play in ther dial.
I moved the Lock-Down Bolt hole to the TailStock side so the Dial Indicator can be used with the Taper Bar.
Mounted the K2 Router Holder on the CrossFeed Slide..
