Need digital level to measure 0.250ö surface
Need digital level to measure 0.250ö surface
(OP)
Looking for digital level or protractor to measure 0.250" (one quarter inch surface). I can find plenty of them but nothing small enough.
Application is measuring radial and tangential angles on the carbide tips of carbide tipped saw blades.
Anyone know a source?
Thanks,
Tom

I assume you have look at the digital models at Mitutoyo- too big?
An optical comparitor seems to be more likely for this kind of application.

Tom, are you looking for something capable of being used in the field?

Just jumped away to do a little searching, but came up with nada. The device I envision is essentially a small, portable toolmaker's or machinists' scope (the kind with an internal reticle for measuring angles), attached on a slide on a rigid beam; the other end of the beam should have some means of finding the center of various shaft/hole sizes. Izzat sorta what you are looking for?

I hadn't thought of an optical comparator because I think of them as big machines. I saw the pocket units but the problem is having a base for comparison.
I did a quick page which Emily, the webmistress, has put at

.001 in 3/8" - that's only 0.15 degrees, with an error of about +/- 0.15 degrees? Not sure that a protractor or clinometer (inclinometer?) will get that good, that small.

A big honking magnet to clamp against the saw disk?

I'm also looking for a company that we used to measure some weird stuff. I just haven't put a name on anything at this time.
