You queried: "Anybody know where I can get a dial downbearing gauge like Schaff used to carry? They seem to be currently unavailable." David, Make your own. You can get a machinists dial, (or whatever they are called), from Harbor Freight, cheap. A block of aluminum and some steel pin stock, drill press, hack saw, sandpaper, etc., a couple hours of messing around in the ole' shop and voila! You'll probably come up with one that far exceeds the Schaff/Apsco thingees.<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
