Re: Holes in cast iron
There are some color matching rods for brazing cast iron! They're not an exact color match, but, they're gray instead of brass colored. They're also trickier to use than classic bronze rods. <

only thing I can think of is that the dials are usually larger than the digital read heads & if ya want to do metric there's some math involved . I've drilled holes in several digital calipers , some

I was happy with numbers on quill. My SB had no marks. My mini lathe has both inch and monkey ? marks. Happy days. On SB I used tape on drill bit for depth. Dave

Yes you can the dial type can be adjusted to zero.? I had one on a Bridgeport mill. I work great. I like digital type all I need to do is press zero button to set start depth. Dave

Re: Can You Use a Dial Caliper as a Non-Digital "DRO?" (was "Re: LittleMachines DROs and dials")
Rather than a dial caliper I used a 2" long travel indicator as seen here: https://gadgetbuilder.com/TailFlag.jpg This uses a plastic flag on the tailstock and a magnetic base to hold the indicator on

Not a bad idea - batteries run out to fast.? ? ?But being visually impaired, I'll stick with the digital type. I have not done so, but it's no different from using a digital caliper as the starting

Re: Can You Use a Dial Caliper as ag Non-Digital "DRO?" (was "Re: LittleMachines DROs and dials")
Yes, I know this can be done with digital calipers. I'm talking about doing it with a non-electronic dial caliper. Has anyone done it THAT way? Mike Taglieri wrote:

I like dial indicator only on the cross slide because will not skip on 0.001 or greater. The rest of time digital read out if skips 0.001 or .002 I still have a good part. Dave

I just bought a Shars 6" dial caliper after admiring one belonging to a friend. It's probably the best and most durable dial caliper I've ever had. But I also have a Chinese dial caliper that's cheap
