Reply:Slick. I wonder if this Master Lock steel sleeved cable could be adapted to this use.

Just a Harbor Freight Magnetic dial indicator base ($10 or less on sale) and a spring clamp from the same purveyor of quality imports. Total cost $11 USD.

Reply:Originally Posted by forhireDo these have a cable that runs up the center of drilled balls and sleeves or is the clamping done via rods like a rigid arm? Can you take it apart and snap a photo? I want to know how they work and I don't have one to take apart. I'd like to build a larger one.
Reply:Haven't used it yet, but, this thing is awesome!!First the disassemble pics for forhire.This is all the pieces. The threaded end of the cable that goes into the knob. You can also see how the links are made. Simple ball and socket with a hole in the middle.The knob, Has internal threads to match the cable end. And as you can see flats on both sides.The flats mate into this piece to keep it from just spinning the cable. Also the blue washer is like a little roller bearing. Not sure if that is essential. The other end of the cable is just a ball retainer.Now for the build. Not much to it.Bit of 3/4" round stock, 1/2" hole bored, 3/8" hole drilled and nut welded for cinch bolt. That welded to a piece of 1/8"x1" flat stock. Bolted to the arm with two 1/4x20 bolt so it is removable if i need the arm for something else. The stand itself is just a 4"x6" 1/4" chunk of plate with a 1/2" bar plug welded .Strong little sucker. Not sure where the clamp came from, but its pretty stout. It is bolted to the end with a 1/4x20 bolt also.Shop boss is not nearly as impressed as I am.

Reply:I was going to make one but could not figure where to get the cable with a threaded end on it. There was this big light and a booming voice said “E” brake cable dummy. Off to the bone yards in the morning.
Reply:I'm thinking some wire rope fittings. McMaster lists them as requiring a roller swage (expensive) but if you have a press it would be trivial to make a swage.http://www.mcmaster.com/#wire-rope-end-fittings/=ovr0w8I found this video showing some hand tool options from Suncor Stainless.
Reply:Randy if you know some one who is into homebuilt aircraft ask them if they have the swage tools or know some one who does. I have a set I made several years ago thet work with a porta power so I can guage the pressure applied to assure the cold flow of the fittings ( critical for quality assurance on aircraft cables, not so much for this type of project). Terminating ball fittings and threaded fitting can be had from homebuilt aircraft suppliers (stainless steel) but the sticker shock might be terminal. You might also see if any supply houses in your area do custom "Morse Cables". They might be able to fix you up with the required fittings.RogerOld, Tired, and GRUMPYSalesman will call, Batteries not included, Assembly is required, and FREE ADVICE IS WORTH EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT!Dial Arc 250HFThunderbolt 225 AC/DCAssorted A/O torches
