I guess it's time to put this puzzle to bed. It's called a Galbert Caliper. It's used tomeasure diameters for spindle turnings.

I guess I'm to give more info . It was invented by a man called Peter Galbert. It sells for 79.00 plus S&H. You set your diameters to turn spindles and stop when they're reached. You can see it it action on You Tube.

Angus, how did you find that answer and what happened to the good old caliper?

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.

Angus, you are absolutely correct. I found this in a article in Woodworker's Journal. Don't you just love all this new stuff.
