I work for a machine tool dealer with a very picky customer! Our service techs have previously checked the squareness of the column and table by sweeping the table surface with a .0001" indicator and mag base on the spindle nose.
My service guys have charged me with the responsibility of locating a tool more similar to what they overseas factories use. Reaching the factory is almost impossible, so.....
What we are looking for (what it looks like the factory uses) is a tool like the one in a drawing I've attached. A solid right angle bar coming out of a shrink fit tool where an indicator can be attached at the end. Am I looking for something that doesn't exist? I appreciate any help!
