The Body is 17-4PH, the Foot is Brass 360 Half Hard, and the Calibration Dial on the bottom is 17-4 PH as well. It was fun to make.
It is pretty slick, but not totally my idea, it was modified from someone else's design.
Considering that you can touch tools within .0001 it is great for when you have to blend pocket floors and hold Tight Tolerances.
I can't take all the credit for this, but thanks.
