The Microgage Alignment Kit adjusts boring mills, aligns lathes and turning centers, adjusts barfeeders, and similar medical-device-manufacturing equipment. The device provides information on runout, centerline offset, parallelism, concentricity, and other machine parameters. A round laser attaches to a chuck or to the end of a shaft or spindle, while a dual-axis receiver placed on the tailstock, tool holder, or other piece of equipment receives the laser beam. As the laser and receiver move relative to each other, a digital display provides a precise reading of the alignment and machine's attributes. The device can measure to a precision of 0.0001 in., or better, and the laser allows alignments over distances up to 150 feet. The device operates on batteries. Components are machined of solid anodized aluminum or stainless steel for wear resistance.
