Devcon1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Reprect, Thanks for tip, and I'm off down there now to what the odds are of them having a Vernier gauge in stock. We have two Aldis in Exeter so I might be on to a winner, I bet I'm lucky..... Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingCrust Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi John, I bought one last time they were on offer. Did some research on their quality and apparently the digital bit very good. Passed the Standard Inspection tes in an instrument lab. The comment that did come out was that analog scale was a bit off on the one they tested - but excellent value.

Devcon1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just got back, The ALDI Sunday offer certainly whipped up a bit of interest, It was very busy so had to jockey for position at the tills after trotting down the aisles, got a vernier gauge but had run out of one of the other items, it's Ok though as the assistant said they had some more coming in at ten to four. Added bonus was a pack of glue sticks that came in differnt colours. I got saddled with a bill of over £40 for all the other stuff I bought..... to cap it all I stalled the car in the car park near the fence. The Vernier Gauge works fine, very pleased...

Devcon1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just used the vaccum vice for the first time, the jaws are a bit loose when adjusting but when clamped up works a treat, might pop down to get a clamp version tomorrow....

Johnny Kirkham Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Johnny's tip of the day :- If you have a tired old lathe or milling machine you can use those cheap digital verniers as cheap digital displays. Just buy two of them, cut off the jaws, make up some suitable brackets and attach them to the cross slide of your lathe or the X,Y,Z of your milling machine. You then have English or Metric measurement at a flick of a switch and you can zero the scale at any time........and sooooo cheap Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Clever idea, I just wish I had the space for a lathe and my favourite machine a pillar drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Kirkham Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Savedbytheground this cheap display can easily be fitted to your pillar drill by first removing the depth stop arrangment on the front of the machine, can also be fitted to a cross vice (XY table vice) to give you accurate hole positioning or convert into a lightweight milling machine.....got to be good for the price Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Don't get depressed Ruprect Spode, I know that you were only trying to be helpful! You're dead right about Aldi, they often come up with good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
