·      Add precision depth control to your turning, threading, grooving, etc. operations by using your dial indicator to precisely measure cross-slide travel. Also incorporates a carriage stop and lock.

Mount this prism rail to your mini-lathe's cross-slide and secure the dial indicator holder on the rail. Mount the stop on your mini lathe's cross-slide and use your dial indicator to record cross-slide movement. Very helpful on older or worn machines with less reliable handwheel measurements.

Sophia A. ★★★★★

Finally, a practical way to use my dial indicator for cross-slide measurements on the lathe. The holder’s rigidity eliminated the wobble I had with my makeshift setup. Makes threading and grooving cuts much more repeatable.

Eli U. ★★★★★

I was able to dial in my threading depth much more accurately with the cross-slide travel measurement feature. The set fit securely and let me switch between operations without any fuss.

Zoe ★★★★★

Finally, a way to use my dial indicator for precise cross-slide measurements instead of just guessing. The setup feels solid once you attach it to the carriage, and it really helps with threading depth control. Makes lathe work feel more repeatable and less like guesswork.
