That is the first time that I have ever had a proper use for the laser. It worked very well for finding a point not so good for edge finding. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have gotten some requests about the Tru-Line 8 from my viewers. I hope that they are getting through to you. Thank you again for the opportunity to try it out. I have had that laser for several years and that is the first time that I have had a proper use for it. The video blurred the light point a bit, it is actually a very fine point that works very well with the scribe lines.

Gday Steve, this will be a game changer for when you forget like I do about height needed in the next procedure, many times I haven’t been able to get a drill in the chuck by 1/2 inch, this can be very frustrating, the Trueline-8 is a great design, thanks for sharing Steve, great idea with the bloopers at the end, take care mate, cheers Matty

Instead of that huge center punch mark, or even the cross hairs, I would suggest you use a 12” high precision pin in a collet, and mount an indicator on the table and measure that. Use a flat tip so it doesn’t move off center on the pin. You can’t do this by eye. You could be off by 10 thou, and not notice. You can get the pins from McMastercarr.

Use of the machine with the alignment device attached has proved to be accurate and reliable. Certainly well with in the limits of the work that I do. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have some followers interested in it. I hope that Bruce can get some business out of it. I am very pleased with the results and the ratchet helps by not introducing any extra twisting moment on the head.

Greetings Steve. I have a round column mill in my home workshop and am frustrated with the head raising and lowering shortcomings. I am spoiled having worked on Bridgeport milling machines in my career as a machinist. I plan on making and installing a similar feature to keep the head aligned during repositioning it up and down.

I have been very satisfied with this arrangement. Unfortunately, Bruce, the builder of the Truline 8 has had to close up shop. I have seen several versions of this used on the round column mills. Two examples are kzfaq.info and kzfaq.info. What I found that made the biggest difference has been using the ratchet on the elevator mechanism. Using the crank handle put too much torque pressure on the head of the mill. Thank you for watching and commenting.

I heard about Bruce's gadget some months ago but never got one onto my round column mill. To be honest I was partly suspicious of the idea but after seeing a couple in use, and your demonstration I guess they are legit! Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for Bruce after seeing what he can do, it was more a consideration of the limits of the round column mills that I know. Good video, thanks for sharing this!

I was suspicious at first when I saw it and spoke to Bruce about it at the Bash. For most features the accuracy is just fine. It holds within a couple of thousandths. I biggest improvement is the ratchet replacing the crank. I want to put a motor drive on it, that will take of the the torque out of twisting the head. Winky's Workshop just did a video on building his own. I think that the Tru Line 8 is more ridged.

That turned out Great. I tried making a System myself, but it turned out not to be Rigid enough. I also need to do something about the Crank Handle for Raising and Lowering the Head. I like your Idea. How much did the Stiffener cast with Shipping, if you don’t mind me asking? Great Video. I really enjoyed it.👍❤️

I got the unit from a friend and machinist from Australia. All I paid for was the freight. He gave it to me to promote. Unfortunately he has had to close up his shop because of family health issues. Both Everett’s Workshop and Winkys built successful alignment units. Check out their Channels. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@sharkrivermachine

I will double check with Bruce. The Tru-Line 8 is available, that is why he sent it to me. Bruce is in Australia so it may take a day or two for him to respond. They are 12 hours or so different from us. As far as the laser is concerned I got it from a estate sale, I will check the manufacture when I get home after the Holiday weekend. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Nice work Steve, and nice test results. Could you post a lead to the laser tool? One thing Steve, I have the same DRO as you and I will ask do you have a problem with the DRO picking up electrical noise, and the readings randomly jumping around? I have this problem from time to time and would appreciate any comment regarding this subject. Cheers and thanks!
