Hello all,
I own a Sherline mill for months already. It always bothers me whenever I have to center the spindle to a marked point... I never seems to get it to be accurate... I have edge/center finder but too lazy to use them...
I came across a site using webcam to visually reference the spindle and I was hooked... After a quick purchase and hacking, it was operational (not without glitch though...)
Here's some photo of what it's all looked like... as always, more details/photo at my blog (http://www.9w2bsr.com/2008/02/new-casing-for-webcam-new-clamp.html)...
