INDICATOR ADAPTER
Most Co-Ax indicators have a 3/8″ or 1/2″ diameter stem. Instead of wasting time closing the lathe chuck to hold the indicator and then more time opening it back up to hold a larger diameter work piece, make a simple stepped adapter with a precision reamed hole to fit the Co-Ax indicator’s stem. In this example, the stepped diameters are 1.5″, 1.75″, and 2.0″. The adapter saves several minutes per day in our shop, which quickly adds up to valuable hours annually.
