A Micrometer Stand, but Completely Over-engineered

In this video I make a heavy micrometer stand for easier measuring of parts using the lathe and milling machine. Rough costs and time to build - I often wonder on machining channels how much time and money people spend on projects, so I thought I'd list here incase it's helpful to anyone: • Time spent: ~30 hours (spread over 3 weeks) • Materials: £75 (with some spare stock left over) • Tooling: £32 (Broken end mills) Materials: • 60mm x 40mm Mild Steel Bar (Main Body) • 19mm Brass Square Bar (Sliding Anvil) • 40mm Brass Round bar (Handle) • 15mm Brass round bar (Lead Screw) • M6 Countersunk Screw Machines used: • Myford ML7 Lathe • Rocketronics ELS (Electronic Lead Screw) system • Warco WM18B Milling machine If you're into machining projects, workshop builds, and small metal tools, subscribe for more.
