I picked up some iGaging scales for my lathe. First up is the carriage scale but the bed rail isn't parallel to the machined backside of the carriage. I need an angle plate to mount the ends of the scale to, gosh how do I figure the angle? I have an idea! I'll use my new iGaging Angle Cube I...

Spotted this video on YouTube, I see it is made by a member of another forum. It gives basic sound advice and gets you in the ballpark. I keep a hand written chart on my wall and had forgotten the basic formula so it is a good refresher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIUS_0xfeGg

Simply amazing! That is definitely not a project for an impatient person. Maxx
