I made an absurd test indicator

[@_zzpza]

Awesome video as always. Loved this line: "You're probably wondering about the lab coat. Well, I used to be a gardener."

I didn't wear the coat... I also wasn't a gardener. 😂😂🤣 That and the cat watching him buff were the best parts!

Ah! The high dose of sheer excellence and humour I've very much come to enjoy from your videos, Uri. Truly, you rank among the very best, I'd say.

Uri, this piece is absolutely divine. I love the way your mind works and the things you create are beautiful while being functional with a touch of witty humour. Keep it up sir!

Great job. I love the classical nature / tone of your videos. And this was by far the best editing job and music sync I've seen in a long time. I wish there were more videos but I'm fine with watching earlier ones over again. It's great to end my day with a smile and that's what I get from your efforts. Cheers and thanks mate.

[@tiger.ntashamoneyworthmo2959]

Lol I don't know what you created but it is awesome. Absolutely love seeing you take nothing but materials and turn it into something special. I am an engraver myself but it is engraving by a machine. I took it one step further and I am able to take a picture and copy that picture over into metal. It's so cool though the way you do your type of Engraving.

[@BeInspiredwithDominic]

That is the greatest test indicator I have ever seen. On a side note, I love the shot with the (foot-cranked?) buffing wheel, which is awesome, only to top it off with a cat! I mean, cats are awesome, and not even foot powered! Thanks for sharing, Uri!

[@DavidChadwell]

This kind of over the top design work is almost a lost art these days. I love it.

[@daedelus_]

I'm currently experimenting with plating/marking and etching copper. I found using a doorbell transformer (AC) you can mark with black. Using a charger and using DC with - in the water, + on object you can etch (using a resist, nail polish, vinyl-sticker etc). With DC + in the water and - on object you can plate using the +material as source. Hope to share some results soon, my first tests have been great! Thank you for sharing your video's. I enjoy your humor and passion!

Beautiful work. You're videos always inspire me to get my tools out. It's great to see such precision achieved with basic hand tools.

[@dc85337]

If you look at 15:20 and on, you can see the "angle" bouncing around also, which also affects the accuracy. Overall - A VERY Nice project. You "might" have to sand the spring a little more to make it less strong to prevent tension movement. However, it is a great little project.

[@bexpi7100]

It would actually do quite well for purely comparative measurements like centering work in a lathe. Very cool.

[@jimandaubz]

*blinking dryly* yes. That is what an test indicator is used for. Or comparing to gauge blocks. Exclusively. Even the thousand dollar test indicators from Sweden. They are useless without something to compare, or test against... Hence the name..... Feeling like there is a r/woosh moment here... and its me that got wooshed.

[@bexpi7100]

@@jimandaubz not really a r/woosh moment, I was just pointing out the fact that even if it isn't the most precise instrument it would still do a pretty dang good job of those kind of measurements. I'm mostly just impressed that he was able to make it work as well as it did, not that I'm surprised he did though.

[@jimandaubz]

@@bexpi7100 ah. You mentioned lathes, so I wasn't sure if you had used a test indicator before. But, all test indicators, even the modern dial test indicators work just like his, and only as accurate as his as well. And they are exactly used for aligning and centering tools and parts in machining. So I was a bit taken back by your commit. Well, good eye! You inferred the exact proper use of the tool! I have worked with grey-bearded "machinist" with 30 years in the field whom never realized the pros and cons of the test indicator as well as you did. 👍

[@turningpoint6643]

@@jimandaubz Well not quite since the good one's have jeweled very low friction movements. My Mitutoyo's will do 10ths and I have an old American Machinist book written in 1910 showing a shop made DTI with a high rate of amplification that will do about 60-70% better than my modern one's. However dti's are mostly a null setting tool where as you said your pre setting them against a known reference surface and trying for minimal runout or part deviation. They "indicate" somethings out reliably and to quite close limits.

[@jimandaubz]

@@turningpoint6643 i get what your saying, and agree, but I must disagree. Only in that it appears your getting into nitty gritty and fully technical where as I am speaking in the core mechanism, they all are just a lever amplified. Well, before the gears anyway 😁. Those mito and brown and sharps are fantastically silky though, no doubt, but I prefer the simple screw mechanism, only because of the reliability of them. I had a .0001 mito that ended up with a cracked jewel, after a week of allowing bad parts to leave the shop (going into airplanes no less😵😵😵😵) I did my weekly calibration, it appeared to move smoothly, but it was able to skip some gear teeth randomly. Needless to say, I have preferred the simplest mech possible I am now a low tech inspector 😅.
