I've got one the same style, and pretty sure mine are also Drillpro inserts.
Only used it a couple of times when I've needed to face up to a shoulder (normally use my good facemill), but one of those times was taking a couple of mm off a real Sandvik toolholder and it worked REALLY well. Cut beautifully, and almost a mirror finish :)

This one will suit me a bit better than the Mitutoyo I have.

Must be hard to use side ways like that. Was it hard to mount to the wall or haven't you done that yet?
I edited the pics to rotate them, but for unknown reasons they wouldn't stay. Also had them visible instead of clicking on a link. Also didn't stay.
Probably due to the fact that the picture files are HUGE. Try resizing them to about 1/3 of their current size. The page size shown for your pdf's is 45" X 33".
well I'm going to have to look for some different software.
Stan, just lower the resolution setting on your camera so that it saves your pictures in a smaller file size. 1024 x 768 is plenty big enough for most purposes. It won't cost you a dime and you won't have to edit them for size after downloading them to your computer.
This articulated mount arrived today which I found on ebay. It was listed as a " Hydra Clamp ". Its cast iron and well made. I have a couple of small vises on similar bases and thought this could be modified for welding purposes. Turning in the screw hydraulically forces a piston up against the rotating ball to hold it in position. I drilled holes in a 2 1/2" C- clamp and attached it to the threaded arm. Overall, it should be a handy shop item.

I use GIMP. It's free and easy to use for scaling pictures.
