....after becoming very frustrated trying to balance the ball-bearing tip on the string, I realized that a flat-head machine screw in the tip, with a drill rod glued in the slot so it crosses the string perpendicularly would be more accurate ( and easy to use ) ! So I went to the hardware store and looked, and found a screw the right diameter (.091" ) but, alas, the threads were different. So I went online,and searched for dial indicator tips, and just bought a set of 22 for only $12.00 ( with 4/48 threads ) on ebay. ( From Chicago, ironically ) One, I suspect, will work better. Will report back. Thump ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
