TTS Tool Zero Space Saver - Round Column

[kregan]

With the limited Z axis on the round column machine using a dial indicator in a standard TTS holder would take up a lot of space.

To save a few inches I made an offset tool holder.

Nice how short the TTS system is anyway but that makes things even shorter for sure. I am sure you can take advantage of the table travel for tool changes with the round column but the Z setting tool is kinda longish. You are making some cool parts with that machine to be sure. I especially like the Heli stuff. Probably will never build one but it is nice to see it is possible with these machines. Peace
