Indicator holder to check run-out

[CueCaps]

The Router Bracket used for Indicator Holder..
Drilled and Tapped 10-24 Holes in top Plate.
Removed Allen Head Screw and countersunk the bore.
Use the extra Flat Head Screw from the removal of the Power Feed Switch Mount. ( Extra when relocated the Power Feed Switch..)

Dial Indicator Holder

Use either hole to mount the Bracket for positioning the Indicator.
You will need to use a short extention on the Indicator tip when doing the smaller Joint sizes.

Dial Indicator Mounting

This is a 5/8" dia. Black Delrin Piece, about 1 1/2" Long.
You can make different lengths to extend the Indicator out further.

Drilled and Tapped 1/4" x 20 on the Indicator side and 5/16 X 18
on the Mounting side. The Router Bracket has a 5/16" Slot.

Cool Machine...

I like this Machine...
I relocated the Switches.
(The Indicator/Mount is removed after checking run-out..Before machining..)

My old Butt with new Butt Cap and Joint Collar.
I call my Cue "Dancing with the Stars"...
It was wobbling so much..

Hi,

So I got to ask. What is your run out on that headstock chuck?

I noticed the different chuck jaws, are those modified originals or are they completely different.
Thanks

Hi Rick,
I didn't do all those checks yet...
I just got it Tuesday and was fussing-around with the butt cap and joint collar and brackets all day yesterday.
I will check it out..
That Cue Butt is warped (From the '90's) so, it wasn't a good test.

The chuck is the one that came with the lathe..
It has the Aluminum Soft Jaws. that came on the chuck..


Photo shows set-up for checking Run-Out or Traming the whole cue.

I like to say,
I got great customer service. (As with all the Cue Suppliers here...)
