hello welcome to enots engineering i'm aAan now first of all i apologize to anybody that
was waiting for the video to come out last tuesday as i haven't released one this week
i found it's getting a bit awkward releasing a video every week
i'm working in the workshop in cold conditions catching colds and it's not
fun anymore so what i've decided i'll do is i'll release a video when it's ready
and not to a time limit of tuesday morning so if you want to see the video as soon as it comes out
press on the subscribe button press the bell and you'll get a text telling you that a new video has
been released when it's released as i said i'm sorry to those people that are waiting for the
videos because i know there are some that wait for the video to come out on a tuesday morning
so today's video what we're making today is this style indicator holder
so i can hold the dial indicator in the milling machine
or in the lathe it has a 13 millimeter body so it should fit in the er 20 colic sets which i
have on the milling machine i found if i hold the dial indicator in a collet on the very edge of the
the shaft it tends to wobble this way the dial indicator can move in and out
and it's secure so this is what we're making today so let's go to the workshop and see how we make it
now when i center drilled this i should have used the spot drill
which is that and that's a nine mil drill and if you notice the two ends
the cutting edges
are both 120 degrees
now what you'll see when i use my center drill i'm trying to line 120 degree cutting edge up
with a 60 degree and you'll see this drill start to wonder from left to right as it fights the hole
whereas if i'd used my spot drill it would have aligned perfectly
eight millimeter drill
nine and a half millimeters
now i want to reduce the diameter just to clear this bevel
so that this will slide his face are going up to the end
you just want to put a spot center drill spot
on the end and now drill through two millimeter so i can put a three millimeter grub screw in
so we've got some brass i'm turning the outside down to 10 millimeter then i bore and ream a
eight millimeter hole put the slot in it with the junior hacksaw and just cut it off to length
now to help you hold the bush when you saw it just hold it in the end of a
clamp it's in there
little grub screwing there's the clamp finished
this is all indicator fitted so you could put that in your shop if you wanted to
in the middling machine to clock the drawer up
the only thing you need to make sure is that you have some clearance with the bezel
overlaps here just so it's not locking up on the bezel i've just taken a
few though off the corner there to reduce the diameter so now i know it's all holding
on this diamete on the spindle diameter that's a firm location
here we have the finished item you can see the
three millimeter grub screw which grips onto the bush closes a slot in the bush which
grips onto the shaft of the dial indicator making it secure in the end of the steel rod
oh well that's it for today hope that was interesting
hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you next time on enots engineering
