Centering Scope For Milling Machine..... Have never used one, have never seen one in use. How they are used in general? And are they something useful to have around?
I assume they could be used for picking up a edge, intersection, small hole, punch, etc, that you couldn't PU with an edge finder or test or coax indicactor, etc. The ones I have seen have like a .500 inch shaft that is gripped by a collet in the spindle, eyepiece at about 45* angle to spindle.
I already have the basic edge & hole finding tools. Two BestTest indicators, cylindrical & pointed edge finder, and an Indicol.
So just want to hear opinions and experience using them. Photos of yours would be good.
If I were to get one it would probably be used. What should I look for in terms of a decent scopes attributes? What about magnification? 5X, 10X, 20X, etc ?
