Hello Forum,
I have a client who has asked me to help him modify all his dial indicator calipers. These calipers have "hardened Stainless Steel outside jaws (Item #1 in the picture attached) that have to have their shape changed. A contour and radius machined, like with a ball mill. My question is can this material be CNC machined using some tooling I can easily buy or would they have to be ground to shape. All helpful and constructive ideas will be appreciated. I have a bunch to do and they cannot be hand made or ground.

But thought you should know you can buy dial calipers like that already made, I have modified calipers to suit my needs at the time just thought you should know you could buy them.
