Dial Test Iindicator Accessories

[Metaler]

This project started with the idea of it being just a set of parts for positioning indicators, However, it soon became obvious that it had other uses, typically, an Instrument Makers Vice and a Heavy Duty Helping Hand, to name but two. See my video for examples of the accessories being used.

That beats the usual third hand with crocodile clips. I think that I'll make one.

For those who don't wish to build a new base, one can get away with replacing the alligator jaws with miniature machinist's clamps as I did here...

Improved clamps for third hand

That will do for me. Thanks.

I note the transatlantic difference in terminology, you say alligator and I say crocodile.
