Dial gauge holder for a QCTP - starlight_tools - 04-10-2012

This is the dial holder that I made to fit the QCTP, makes holding the dial indicator on centre so much easier than grabbing a Magnetic base.

It was made from a scrap of material left over from making a set of bearing splitters, and a chunk of 1/2" keystock.

Here is is mounted in a QCTP holder, ready to drop onto the lathe, set for height and ready to go.

Great idea Walter. That one's going on my project list.
