I use a protractor like this:
Set the card part against the side of the cross slide, and the arm
part against the compound. Part of the card is hidden under the cross
slide but it doesn't matter in the least.
I have one that's got a rivet between the two parts at the pivot, and
I regret the purchase because of it. The type with a screw there that
can be locked is better.
Hope that helps!
Yes, thanks both! I was thinking along the lines of using a round bar, a
dial indicator and a calculator but I guess I might have been making things
a bit more complicated than I really needed to. Unfortunately, my local
Machine Mart was closed this afternoon so I had to just eyeball my 15degs
from the built-in one.
Do you scribe the cross-slide with lines at 26.5 and 29.5 degs for future
reference?
