You're a good man, Ed.

I also have a ROC 1-6" set of mics, and with every gauge block I've tested them against the mics have been spot on. While, yes, it would be just lovely to have some nice brand name mics, These work great.

I forgot I had ordered this off of Amazon with free shipping from Japan. It came in the post today.

This could actually go in a few places: latest delivery, what did you do today, etc.

I have a two axis Shooting Star DRO on my mill, but I wanted something for the quill. So I ordered the iGaging setup, and it showed up yesterday.

Spent a few hours figuring out and fabbing the brackets, but it's there, and it works!

Just arrived today  a wee Variac , 0 to 270v 





and it does what it says on the tin .




Hand wheel is buggered ,but I knew that when I bought it , could stick it back together and cast one ,canny job for a 3D printer  if I had one 



I have a rectifier knocking about somewhere that I will add to it so I have a 0 to 270v DC option  ,

good one rob are you going to use it in your plating lab

Aye for that and for a few other projects Bob

Those are very handy devices. Nice score.

Useful bit of kit

Rob, make sure your rectifier is rated at more than 380 volts. At an RMS voltage of 270, the peak voltage is 270 x 1.414 = 382 volts.
