Angle Calibrated Wrench 3

[drawoh]

Is there such a thing? I may have to design one.

I have a requirement to be able to rotate screw or nut in increments of one degree. This is for optical alignment purposes, although it could be nice for torquing accurate preloads as well.

I like Mikes suggestion, we use lots (well, quite a few) 1/4-80 or 1/4-100 or similar fine pitches for our fine adjustment. You're currently at about 32 TPI. Having used 4-40's for fine adjustment on one part while possible, it's not super easy.

KENAT,

Thanks. I am not in control of the adjustment screws, or of the structure around the screws. I am in control of the wrench.

I figured that was the case but thought I'd throw it out just in case.
