    Indicator Fine Adjuster for magnetic base or other mount

    It is much easier to re-zero the indicator when you have a specific knob that just changes
    the indicator engagement and you don't have to loosen the supporting linkage.

    Very similar to Brand name units but newly put on paper by me!

    My steel was just a piece of 3/4" by about 2" long hot rolled.
    Finished dimensions are a bit under the drawing sizes but you can get the complete picture from them.
    Requires in addition one 10-32 thumb screw and one 5mm x .8 button head short screw.
    Make sure the button head screw is not too long or it could hit the rotating magnet in the magnetic base.
    (in my base you can see the part rotate thru the top mounting hole).

    Cheers, JR
