Posted some pics of a spine/FOC tester I was building a few weeks ago, thought I would post some finished pic's.

Hot Hap

It looks very nice to me! Would like to see the FOC part in action. Hap

Earl Jeff



FOC in action Glynn nothing more than a balance point a tape measure and the math formula.

Old York

Earl, how do you zero out the dial indicator before lowering your weight?

Old York - The bezel on the gauge rotates and then you can lock it into position.
Got wood? - Tom

Earl Jeff

Thanks Tom.  It has to be adjustable for different dia. Arrows

Old York

I know the bezel can rotate, but one still needs to get the plunger
dial under the shaft with no pre-load    :banghead:  

I'll re-phrase my question - Earl, how is your jig adjustable for different diameter arrows?
How do you move the dial indicator up and down?

Old York, on mine, I made my right post adjustable up/down/in/out to help zero everything up. Course, mine's not slick built like Earl's for sure. ART

Old York

Hi Art! HA! I know what you mean...that's
a nice piece of work Earl did with the copper piping and fittings.
Least that's what it looks like to me. Pretty dang clever he is   :D  

Mine looks like something from the Red Green School of Engineering,
but she's accurate. I learned how to null out the dial indicator influence,
thanks to your support!

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THE GREAT PIPE FITTING BUT IT WAS PART OF A OLD SCOOTER MY BOY DISGARDED, AT LEAST I HOPE HE DID.  :confused:
