Disposable Test Clips - Ken S - 08-24-2018
I wanted to do a BESS test on my turning spindle roughing gouge. I then discovered that its half round shape was too thick for the standard Edge on Up test filament holder. What to do? I could have referred the problem to our crack volunteer design team. I thought I might try using the Disposable Test Clips. They work very well; the thichness is not a constraint. EOU saved the day once again.
Incidentally, my BESS reading, after the gouge had been used and was hand held, was 255. Nothing stellar, but not quite childproof.

Remember that the test clips, unless you release some of the tension by wiggling the legs a few times, will read 20% too sharp.

Thanks, Grepper.....Maybe my roughing gouge is childproof after all.
