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!

[@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 😅.

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!

That gold platinum technique used to be a popular side business back in the 90s, people would go around to car dealerships and apply gold plating to cars on the lot to increase their perceived value. Even now you see lots of old cars with faded worn off gold badges that weren't a factory option.
