Thank you for this! Making faces that are deliberately less-reflective, so they may be more easily read under bright KZread recording light for instance, is another application for this technique!

Beautifully crafted and documented. Thank you indeed. An inspiring idea. 👏👏👍😀

Thank you very much!

Making a custom dial this way was great to watch. BTW: If making custom watch faces is of interest, the WatchComplications channel by 10/6 has a play list on using either pad printing or waterslide decals for making custom watch faces.

Well done! I have always wanted to make a custom dial and instead just glued a thin paper printout on the old face. Gotta reface my indicator soon!

Just superb , so generous and informative, thank you

Another excellent video!

i first saw this tool in action in another video and i thought it was a store bought item, wow

i have a lot of respect for what you do , if i don,t have the same facilities, could i just make a spring loaded plunger that i set at the height i require and then shim the cutter up till it touches the plunger, using a selection of the shims like you do. cheers john

wow so simple :) I can manage most, except the engraved numbers, hmm more hours to try something new thanks.

Beautiful work, love your vids, you're the British Click Spring. Subscribed! Greetings from Southport.

That’s very high praise! I think we’ve got a way to go before we can match Clickspring's videos but thank you for your support! 😁

I feel so spoiled having a fiber laser. Load up a quick drawing and it will cut tho and engrave it at the same time.

yay

Have you thought of adding a GHT style HDA to your arsenal?

Why not engrave the divisions whilst it is on the rotary table? Is there an advantage to all the effort of fitting a dividing head to the lathe? Alternatively, do it all in the lathe, with the peg a small part that fits into a small slot in the dial. (esp. for those without rotary table- or even a mill). Personally, I would have just printed out a dial, and stuck it to the face... For most indicators only an inner ring with the numbers will be needed. Given that most DIs have a secondary pointer, this is way easier (engraving the secondary is a big complication) An alternative- use a digital caliper (cheap) with the depth probe sensing the tool bit, instead of the DI. Direct digital readout of the shim size needed. I would mount it horizontally.

👍👍😎👍👍

spelt Guilloche maybe !

Looking at this I'm thinking "Do I really want my 76 year old eyes messing with the internals of a DTI ? Not to mention all the rest of this procedure?". I see three easier alternatives..... (1) Use a Digital DTI. (2) Reverse a DTI's readout by using basic pivot point physics (1:1 leverage) that can be easily fabricated with very basic tools. It would be more fun to fabricate than messing around inside a DTI. (3) Simple math. Wakodahatchee Chris

"I encourage you to look into Guilloche" 3 hours later, Googling "Guilloche engine for sale" Sees price 😭

Keep doing a great job. You need to look into *promo sm*!!!
