Title: Just What I Didn’t Need #4

I got this giant Noga magnetic base. This thing is huge! It's bigger than some of my micro machines, machines are too small, nowhere to stick it LOL.

Hahaha!  I picked up a Noga post a couple years ago and mounted to a magnetic base I had as a spare. It's almost as big yours. Really too big for my machines  too.

I was thinking. It doesn't need to be for an indicator. You could use it for holding a magnifying lens, safety shield, blue print, camera...whatever. Maybe I'll make a strip of that dovetail so I can mount stuff on it.

I need to pick up a couple of articulating arms - cheapo ones will work - to make coolant deflector guards.
