Thread: shaper spindle mechanical digital readout

    shaper spindle mechanical digital readout

    Anyone know the standard units on an SCM shaper mechanical spindle height readout? The graphic seems to show 2mm per full turn but I can't seem to calculate accurately what each unit of the readout is.
    Thanks for any insight,
    David

    2mm per revolution is a very common unit for Euro machines.

    if you put an Imperial gauge on it, it will be some weird decimal value per revolution, which is why on my machines I use the metric gauges........Rod.

    Okay, that helped, same as referenced the last red digit is 1/100. Full turn = .08 or 2mm. Now to get my brain to convert 1/100 to a fraction I'm used to dealing with 64ths, 32nds etc. I probably have to make a chart and post it.
    Thanks for the help,

    I'm hoping that some day santa will bring me a proscale for my shaper. Have not been that good though, so I better stop thinking about it.
