Abstract:
A device for determining the angular relationship between a spindle of a machine tool and an associated work surface, comprising:a transversely-extending body including defining an integral reference surface on a bottom portion thereof, said body including a pair of nesting features for mounting a pair of measurement gauges, said nesting features being disposed at spaced-apart locations along an axis parallel to said reference surface each nesting feature having a concave arcuate profile for receiving a housing of a dial gauge; an elongated shank attached to said body, the longitudinal axis of said shank being aligned perpendicular to said reference surface; and first and second gauges mounted in respective ones of said nesting features, each of said gauges having a shaft carrying a movable measuring tip, said gauges being positioned relative to said reference surface such that each of said measuring tips can be moved, within the range of measurement of said gauge, to a position flush with said reference surface.
