About this time last year one of the DROs on my Milling Machine shot craps since it was a Dollar ninety-eight special
I upgraded to a better unit leaving these two Stainless Steel scales without a use other than a straightedge , having a need for a large diameter compass from time to time, I made trammels out of them. so far I haven't needed either one of them!! 😳

You must be a very skilled machinist.
Thank you Caribou
Not really a skilled machinist, I just have the luck of being able to make the machines work for me.

Wow! They look pretty cool and decorative. Maybe you can hang them on a wall?

Thank you Indi
If I hang them on the wall then I have to dust them😉
Really they are to use when needed
