[modeleng] Re: Digital Angle Gauge

Hi Wilfried
Ever since I built my Worden tool & cutter grinder, I've been trying to figure 
out a way of fitting a protractor to set the angle of the table.  It's not 
easy, as the table has to move from side to side.

I've never seen a digital angle gauge, but it looks as if it might be the 
answer.  Thanks for the link.

Regards
Ron

  Onderwerp: [modeleng] Digital Angle Guage

  Hi,
  Long time since I posted something but I can tell from experience that
  Allendale Electronics has some really wonderful stuff for us modellers.
  I met them last year at Alexandra and they had some convincing promotions.
  So I went home with the digital dept gauge see 
  http://www.machine-dro.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id0  
  Now you, well I do, rarely need a dept gauge but . This one has a hook at
  the business end. Ever tried to measure up the thickness of a ring held in
  the 3-jaw ? Simply hook the business end of the gauge behind the ring and
  bring up the foot against the face. Scroll down the page to the drawing with
  L2 on it and it will be instant clear what I mean. Can tell you that this
  one lives next to the normal calliper and sees a lot of use.
  The next tempting item was the digital angle gauge. See 
  http://www.machine-dro.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=7  
  Primarily intended for use on woodworking machines it to finds its use in
  the ME shop. setting the angle plate on the mill is one of the uses which
  springs to mind. used it also in combination with the bending machine.
  I have no connection with the firm whatsoever, just a satisfied costumer.
  But a stop at  their stand at Alexandra is time well spend. Just one warning
  keep an eye on your credit card or it will end up a lot thinner.
  Regards and seasons greetings to you all.
