Home Made CO-AX Indicator

[Wes]

Here is a pic and cutaway view form the cad model of my homemade co-ax indicator. It was designed in Pro-E cad. The center shaft was made form a shoulder bolt, the body is made of aluminum with a steel-bearing surface on the bottom and pressed in bronze bushings.

It works quite well; it has about a ½ of travel depending on what length feeler is installed. It may not be quite as accurate as good DTI but works quite well for general work.

Wow! That's one for future projects. good for you.

Wes- I like the project. Would you be interested in sharing your part files? I use pro-e daily, so it would be easy for me. I'd like to build one. I have a twin cylinder steam engine modeled and detailed in pro. Would you be interested in a swap?
Let me know.

Thanks- Sid

Sure I will share the files. I will Email them to you tomorrow. If there is interest I could post drawings on my Website as well.

Looks like a real nice job. I would be interested in the plans also. I think it would be great if you would post them here to share with the rest of us. Don't know if I could make one look as good as yours in the photo, but may be a fun project.
