I am tired of getting poorly aligned marking on sizers I made. Holding the stamp vertical is a pain in the ass.
I have cogitating on this for quite some time and decided it was time to get it made.
Used a chunk of way too good steel, some ETD 150. Overkill but it is what I had on hand, a nice gift from a good buddy.
Bottom is drilled for a Star sizer so the flange rest flat on the top. Top piece is counterbored for the flange. Top is drilled and countersunk for 10-32 cap screws.
Next I need to cut the top to final dimensions and make the slot for the stamp. I will then make a piece to be held across slot to hold stamp in a square hole to keep it vertical and evenly aligned in relation to the flange.
