Toolpost Indicator Holder (AXA)

Beschreibung

This is a toolpost dial indicator holder for the metal lathe. It fits AXA quick change tool posts, and is sized for standard Mitutoyo dial indicators (or similar). It's a really quick way to throw an indicator on your QCTP to dial in the 4-jaw chuck or measure run-out in a part.This was deeply inspired by this project from mrpete222 (your YouTube shop teacher!):https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2671273I remodeled it in Fusion360 and tweaked the dimensions for full-size dial indicators, rather than the small Shars ones. The mounting hole is chamfered for a 45° allen head machine screw, like you'd find in Ikea furniture (which is exactly what I used). This keeps the hardware flush with the holder and clear of the tool post.The Fusion360 file is included, so you can easily tweak it for your indicator or your desired mounting hardware.
