After years of dis-use, I'm ready to tune up/crank up my old BT3000.
Looking at the alignment block article, I'm unclear as to how to use the bolt/dowel configuration.
I can't see how the indicator is attached to the block.
Then again I'm only on my 3rd cup of coffee.
Help?
Thanks!
Sorry it took me so long to notice this.
The purpose of that dowel is to provide a means of attaching the indicator. You could just as easily screw (with a wood screw) the indicator into the block.
In my case I used the 1/4-20 threaded cross-dowel so I could turn it back and forth 90-degrees and use the same 1/4-20 screw to attach the indicator to both edges of that block.
I now realize that sometimes those videos guys make, would make this a whole lot easier to understand. Unfortunately, I don't have a video.
