Good day all.
I was going to make my own tramming tool, but I just don't have the free time.
So can anyone please recommend where I can buy a tramming tool within the UK?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.

High Accuracy Milling Head Square/Tramming Gauge - Edge Technology Mill Tram | eBay

Just use a dial gauge in the spindle and buy the cheapest brake rotor [ brake disc ] you can to sweep round
I just used a few bits of steel bar to hold the dial indicator in the spindle, offset by an appropriate amount, then take 4 readings and compare to find the gradient in each direction. Those ones on eBay are just a gimmick.
While I would agree that they are not really needed Jonathan I don't think I would go as far as to say they are a gimmick. It's a quick an easy way to set up so will work better for some people especially if time is a big issue. Oh & no I don't own one lol.Quote:

Sheet of glass is a good idea & cheap enough to get a bit as the company in the unit next door do replacement windows lol.Quote:
