Good tool to have.
This is a Great video, love learning!🧡👍
I think the reason the measurements of the down teeth on the used blade were so much lower than up teeth and inconsistent was, the gauge was reading set MINUS the thickness of the gunk on the blade.
Awesome videos sir
I use the same dial indicator, and run band from Suffolk for close to 30 years, also have their dual tooth setter. I find my teeth loose set on one side as well, I suspect its due to the teeth on one side running on the band wheel. while the teeth on the off side of the wheel are not affected. I do loose set as I grind my bands too.
I wonder since the set was so far off on one side what if the blade was reset without sharpening. How would it cut? That could extend time between sharpening and blade life.
Do you calibrate that first?
You should probably reset the zero when you change from reading the outside teeth to the inside teeth. There will be a very slight difference due to the curve of the blade.
As just a metalworker/machinist: Would it not be better to have a "slot" for the blade and the indicator mounted to a table? There is (almost) nothing worse for measuring than objects moving around. In my opinion its better the more man/movement is taken out of the equation...
