Mouthpiece Work / Tip gauges

SUBJECT: Tip gauges
Thanks Steve for the Tip gauge. Seems to work great. The only trick was setting the zero point. Seems that the anvil has uneven edges and makes it a bit tricky to know where the flush point is. This is the only thing I would suggest changing as you continue to market it. Im happy to have it and I will be passing on the good news (that it works well) to a couple of friends who were interested. Thanks again.

I too want to say thanks to Steve. I am all set up -- assembled and zeroed out and measuring but I am such a technical vegetable that I don't know how to read the dial. I have always used a tip wand in the past. So this my first adventure with dial guage. At zero The little hand is on 9 and the big hand is on 0. When I measure a mpc. I know is 107 my dial reads as follows: little hand spins to almost to 8 and the big hand reachs 95. What is the tip opening? signed, "really stupid." --- In MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com, "sigmund451" <sigmund451@h...> wrote: > > Thanks Steve for the Tip gauge. Seems to work great.

If I am correct you dont read the little dial. If you are zeroed out then the RED 95 would indicate an opening of .095. As Steve said, if you want to read mouthpieces more open than .100 you will have to allow more movement in the second adjustment. I have mine set back to 70 when it is in open position. If Im not mistaken that would permit readings to .130. Pretty nifty little dials. --- In MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com, "mdc5220" <chedoggy@e...> wrote: > > I too want to say thanks to Steve.

thanks for the help, very nifty indeed; but if i were to read the RED 10 and add 7 it would not be 107 which would be dead on with what i know is a 107; but that has got to be wrong. signed "fumbling"

One would make only one reading. For instance: My 7* is a 105. The red reading is simply the .005 behind the 0. One then assumes the full trip around to reach the .100, add the 5 and there is your 105. Your top adjustment has to allow for more than one trip around...(1 and a third is plenty for most). Keep in mind that in open position it has traveled over the course of .100. If you are only permitting it to go from O to O you cant read more than .100. I hope that makes sense, if not perhaps someone more literate than myself can explain it better.

Steve, got mine in the mail today, and in a few minutes had it set up. Checked it against my Winslow, and I get readings within .002", which is not a problem, has to do when how I position the Winslow gauge (which is as close to the actual tip as possible). Yours measures farther in. If I move the Winslow gauge to a similar position, I get the same readings. The brass stop gives a consistent placement of the mouthpiece, and consistency is more important than actual numbers. Excellent product! Thank YOU! Paul Steve Fowler wrote: > Thanks!

Checked it against my Winslow, and I get readings within .002", which is not a problem, has to do when how I position the Winslow gauge (which is as close to the actual tip as possible). Yours measures farther in. If I move the Winslow gauge to a similar position, I get the same readings.
The brass stop gives a consistent placement of the mouthpiece, and consistency is more important than actual numbers.
Excellent product!
Thank YOU!

Thanks! I'll pay closer attention to the anvil in the future. Would you like a replacement or can you level off the anvil?
All the best,

Thanks Steve for the Tip gauge. Seems to work great. The only trick
was setting the zero point. Seems that the anvil has uneven edges
and makes it a bit tricky to know where the flush point is. This is
the only thing I would suggest changing as you continue to market
it. Im happy to have it and I will be passing on the good news (that
it works well) to a couple of friends who were interested. Thanks
again.
