No CMM necessary

My idea describes a technique for measuring part profiles onward a machine tool as accurately as with a CMM All that is required is a circular gage stop dial indicator, and CNC machine (preferably a jig grinder).

First, I rise the gage block to the machine's table and insert the indicator into the machine spindle. I then indicate the arrest in to establish a cipher setting. Once there, I adjust the indicator ball to the known radius of the gage stop up with respect to the spindle axis. I then plant the cutter compensation to the same radius.
