Re: [atlas-craftsman IO] Mitutoyo Test Indicator Tips

Thanks Russ.
I'll take a look at it. I thought that might all I had to do but I was scared to force it.

Re: [atlas-craftsman IO] Mitutoyo Test Indicator Tips

I think those test points are adjustable , there are only so many setups ya can do with the point always in the same place

I was going to look at the manual when I get home. I just thought I'd go ahead and ask in case anybody knew off the top of their head or if it is something pretty common amongst indicators.
I was in a rush last night and didn't investigate it.

I'm very careful with it and have only used it on the lathe. It is a
parallel model and the tip moves in the same plane as the dial face. I
noticed last night I went to use and the tip was not vertical. I dont'
think I bumped it or snagged it on anything. Is there an adjustment that
allows the tip to be repositioned at some other angle than vertical?

Most indicators (other than the Starrett Last Word) are adjustable for the
relative angle of the tip to the body - you just grab the arm and move it like
you're bending it where it connects.

The Last Word (and others like the Gem) have something of a saw tooth shape to
the attachment where you have to sort of pull it away from the body to change
the relative position.
