To All:

        Just in case someone might be interested.

        I used a 1" Indicating Zero-Setter from SPI for over a decade. One of
THE most used tools I had. Then a friend asked me about 6 months ago
where he could get one. SPI no longer carried them. But today I
stumbled across one in a Mitutoyo catalog.
        Mitutoyo part number 950-111 for the inch model. Go to the bottom of
the PDF below and back up a few pages.

        And on a search, I found the following ones as well.

        The above one has a magnet on the bottom for use in Horizontal
Machines. Too bad it doesn't have an aluminum or brass magnet, eh.
Maybe you could clamp and thin steel plate to your alum. parts and
allow for that thickness, or do your setting off the tombstone or vise
rails, whatever.

Les Paul made one too--called it a Paulverizer IIRC.

Or maybe it was Mikey--who called it a Mikeabrator.

Hmm wonder if he's even still alive....curious if anyone's heard from him
lately....

TB:

        Ahh yes, the Millabrator. Funny you should mention that. I had one
for years, and a regular in amc asked me about it some months back.
I'd only used it about twice since I had it, so I sold it to him.

        About Santa Cruz Mike, it seems once China (or Taiwan), swallows you
up - you're seldom heard from again. How many posts have we seen from
Hamei in the last 5 years, eh.

Give a man a fish and he eats this evening....teach him how to fish and he
will live a lifetime without hunger....

The antithesis goes as follows :

"Build a fire for a man then he will be warm for the evening...

...BUT...

*Set a man on fire* and he will be warm for the remainder of his life....
