Stupid Micrometer
Several months ago I bought a micrometer form Lidl. It was a really
nice tool that I never had a use for until I finally figured out how to get the blade out of my planer. (Wind the bolts into the cartridge that holds the disposable blades and the cartridge slides out. The blades can then be slid out the cartridge with some careful pressure.) So now I need to reset the allen screws that supply the adjustment to the blade heights. (Having messed around with the SOBs trying to get the blades out in a previous incarnation.) Can I remember where I shelved that damn micrometer. Can I buggery! I used a spanner (13mm) as a feeler gauge. It's not rocket science but the sort of crap I used to keep an old Ariel Huntmaster running in ye goode olde daies. I wonder what the correct setting is supposed to be. I'd better take the allen key into work with me tomorrow. I've a feeling it needs to be 15 maybe 16 mm. |

Stupid Micrometer
Can I remember where I shelved that damn micrometer. Can I buggery! Years ago my Dad had a wall clock that wound up with a key. He knew he had put the key in a safe place, so safe he couldn't find it. After making a lot of enquiries he managed to find a replacement. After winding the clock he put it in a safe place... ....You guys are ahead of me aren't you? -- Graham %Profound_observation% |
