As some of you know, Joel Gelman and I have been attempting to make an articulate boom arm.? After some trial and error (with more emphasis on error), I think I finally got the boom arm the way it's suppose to be.? I still have more to do with it, like hook the hoses onto it at the joint, but all in all, it turned out exactly the way I'd had hoped..

David, and all,

Since this topic came up, may be you could tell me what I bought. I got? igaging IP54 caliper and a height caliper. They were damn cheap but I was in a bind.

While The caliper seems ok, I can't get a consistant reading on the height one at all. While I am game to buy the real deal now that I know more, Any recommendations for the height on that I will be using for the shaper?

I haven't spent any money for a few days and I miss my UPS girl. so upgrade time.

David, Surprised you watch Ave, He is always good for a video after a crappy day and I learn about tools that I thought were a lot better than they are because of the names. I Like when he tears apart the battery tools.

You can always take measurements to figure out how to reposition the spindle. ? Here’s an example, where I’m measuring the height of the tenoning plate above the cast iron top.?
