INTRODUCTION
The Shopsmith Dial Indicator Set Up Gauge is the
ideal tool for aligning your machines for optimum
performance and for making certain operational set-
ups with exceptional accuracy.
The Dial Indicator Set Up Gauge consists of a preci-
sion dial indicator that is graduated in 1/1000 (.001)
increments with a full 1" of travel. This Dial at-
taches to an adjustable holding device that slides in
the Miter Bar slot of your MARK V worktable sur-
face or the top of your MARK V Model 505, 510 or
520 Rip Fence. It can also be used with your Band-
saw Rip Fence or your Shopsmith Pro Fence Sys-
tem Router Table Fence. And, by removing the Mi-
ter Bar from the bottom of the Gauge, you can also
use it to adjust your Jointer Knives.
The complete package also includes a box contain-
ing a total of 22 interchangeable Tips for the end of
the Plunger. Some of these Tips have flat ends, some
have "domed" ends and others have pointed ends.
In addition, some Tips are longer than others, giving
you some additional "reach" when required for cer-
tain measurements. For most applications, the flat-
ended Tips will work best. The two large diameter
(short length) Tips are ideal for measuring to saw
blade tips or jointer knife edges. Just screw one Tip
off and another on.
NOTE
Before taking any measurements, be sure the
Tip you're planning to use is screwed on
TIGHTLY. Loose Tips produce inaccurate mea-
surements.
