Ive struggled for years trying to learn how to sweep a round. Always had ask for help, but i followed thus video and finally got it! Didnt even have to adjust the y axis, thank you!
I'm a machinist as well and that's what we always do before bolt circles. But when I was in school learning basic machining I learned to find center of a circle alot by edge finding the one side on the Y and 0 it out then move to opposite side edge find it and whatever your number is divide by 2 then you can repeat with x axis. If you do that would bolt patterns be accurate or is it always beat to indicate it when doing something like that?
You bring up a good question. In most cases an edge finder will work just fine. The main reason for me having students use a test indicator is to practice different operation. Thanks for the comment.
@@shopinstructor3980 ya I figured it would. I work at a tool and die shop so obviously precision is everything (as it always should be lol). I brought up the point of edge finding a circle instead of Indicating and the guy said it would never work. I'm sure it could as long as you are at the outer most part of the circle. But obviously indicating it would be more accurate. Thanks for the reply.

Excellent Video. Very well explained.
Thank you! Hopefully you will get to put the lesson to use soon.
Awesome tutorial brother! Hope y'all make shiny pieces!!
Thank you, I am happy you found it useful. Work Safe
Thank you this video was very helpful
Danke, gute Erklärung!
Thanks bro!👌💯
I have found that although the method works , if the knee of the mill is moved up or down the reading will be compromised.
Get a co-axial dial indicator. It will pay for itself in the time saved alone.
Thanks

A dial indicator will always be more precise than an edge finder. An edge finder has 2 to 3 thousands error
you caused a big issue with this tutorial straight away by using imperial
