25 What is TS-Aligner made of
TS-Aligner is mostly made from 6061 aluminum tooling plate. This
particular alloy of aluminum was chosen because of it's dimensional
stability and ease of machining. All important surfaces are
machined square and flat. A durable, scratch resistant finish is
applied by anodizing the individual parts before assembly. As
already mentioned, the rods are all 303 stainless steel. This
alloy was chosen because of it's machinability, anti-rust, and
anti-magnetic properties. The two vertical rods are precision
ground and polished to within +0.0000", - 0.0002". The dial
indicator used with TS-Aligner conforms to AGD type 2 standards
with 0.001" graduations and a 1/4" lug back.
