Thanks again guys! Wow, all ya'll sure know how to make a guy feel good! Thm: Well, the proof is in the puddin', as the saying goes. I used a wiggler and made a dimple on some crossed lines, then replaced the wiggler with the optical version and it was dead on. woohoo1 I took some pics and it...

Thank you very much, fella's! :) Yes, in the video there is. Lex uses a pointed wiggler to make a dot on the crosshairs of a workpiece. Then he removes the wiggler and installs the optical version and it is dead on. That is how you verify it.

Quite an ambitious project, but it sure would be neat to have it! :)

I have an imported (to the USA) set of edge finders. They are supposedly the audible click type. I have never heard the click. I have a Sieg mini mill, and it is rather noisy. Are the audible click type edge finders supposed to be heard easily over the noise of the mill motor? ???

Okay, I think that is enough for now. ;) Yes Pat, I have painted and detailed all the models and engines. Thanks fella's.
