SPECIAL GAUGES In addition, I furnish a special dial indicator setup that has four functions: a. (Click for larger image) The thickness of any part of the profiled piece before folding can be measured with an attachment to the indicator stand. This is Setup One. b. (Click for larger image) A calibrated needle attached to the indicator stand can measure the blade thickness from the inside of a reed. This is Setup Two. c. (Click for larger image) The indicator stand can be placed on the precision flat surface of the profiler base and the indicator can be fitted with a special tip which can measure the height of the set screws in the cane barrel slots. This is Setup Three. d. There is an indicator setup that will verify the parallelism of the cutting head to the base. This would only be necessary if a cam of a different diameter were to be installed on the profiler. This is Setup Four. e. (Click for larger image) When the shimming screws that adjust the cane barrel cutting angle are set, the distance between the cane barrel and the cam shaft uprights must be maintained in perfect parallel. The parallelism of the cane barrel and the cam is assured with special fixtures that are attached to a precision ground flat area in the base. These special fixtures determine the required parallelism. The adjustable link between the uprights then can be set and assure the parallel movement of the uprights.
