Anyone knows a name for a positioning holder?
"Ignoramus15297" wrote in message ... What I have in mind is a device that is like an arm, with several joints with balls in them. One could turn it any way they want and then tighten screws on these balls so that the device stays in the chosen position. A remotely similar device would be a gooseneck lamp. What would such things be called? thanks Heh... in some circles, it's called a dial indicator stand! G LLoyd |

G LLoyd Hey Iggy, You didn't give us much clue as to what size or what holding weight you need, but.... Along with Lloyd's circles, try http://www.kbctools.com and search Page 640. Then do a further search for "magnetic indicator base" there, for some REALLY expensive stuff. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario |
