Clamping bracket for dial gauges
- for holding dial gauges
- Receiving shaft Ø 8 mm
- max. measuring radius 60 mm
One of the most challenging tasks when building or converting a CNC milling machine is the precise vertical alignment of the milling spindle. Due to the lack of contact surfaces and the large distances that have to be bridged when measuring, this quickly becomes an error-prone fiddling.
The inexpensive clamp makes adjustment quick and convinient. The shaft is clamped with an 8mm collet, the other side grips the dial gauge (see recommendation below). After lowering it onto the workpiece support, the dial gauge must show the same value all the way around in a circle. A crooked position is so easy to recognize and regulate.
