Re: Advice on dial indicator for checking run of a drill press/input on Novs Voyager Drill Press
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf by ¡°zero¡± the indicator you mean altering its height so the indicator hand points to the 12-o¡¯clock position, a micro-adjust will do that. ?However, this is not necessary. ?The common method to ¡°zero¡± the indicator is by twisting the outer dial bezel so that the zero position on the dial face matches the arrow position - then when you reposition the indicator to another place, the indicator will tell you the exact difference. ?? |

?I made the long-reach indicator holder similar to the David Best shows. I could not be confident that I could ¡°zero¡± the indicator, though. The indicator would tell me if I was moving the table up or down, but not whether I had it where I wanted it. I eventually used two indicators at the right edge of the table, and used my level to see if the slider was parallel to the iron table top.
Any suggestions for how to ¡°zero¡± the left-side indicator would be helpful. I want to try adjusting the slider again, this time to reduce toe-out, and I know I¡¯ll have to work with slider elevation at the same time.
