Setting Circle

Recommended Posts

Just added a setting circle to the 250 (ex-Goto) flex Dob.


Thanks Mike for the circle and Daz for the idea!!


Quite a straight forward job, just need to add a red pointer to show up better under red light at night!

If you can do a Lazy Susan then this is easier, got the circle of Mike (Peril8r)  :)

I think it's mainly the tools I'm concerned about, don't know if we have the ones required!  (Also might be scared of ruining my base, but I probably have nothing to worry about)


 


Also aren't the circles a bit pricey? Might have to wait a while if so!

£25 delivered (royal mail have doubled the price of postage :bat: otherwise they were £23) for the 200p.

That's not as bad as i'd thought!

 

But still will have to wait a while to even get that together! Must check the tools in the mean time too

Tibbz, what's pocket money these days? In mike's time it was half a groat a life-time ;)

Ron it looks great, professional, but then i'd expect nothing less.

Nice one Ron, looks great.

Tibbz, if you haven't got it done by EMS2 and you are going, then I will bring my tools, you bring everything else and we can get you sorted.

Graham, red pointer and red light work fine, I did extensive testing!!
