I've seen an optical tool intended for centering the spindle of a mill
over a crosshair or mark on a workpiece, one that doesn't require such
good vision as many do not have.
Enco has it as item 240-0404 for $170:
.
MSC has what appears to be the same thing, with more description and a
higher price:
.
The long description is in the printed catalog, not the website.
Travers also has it as item 57-101-650, for $237! Well, they used to -
it no longer appears on their website. In the 2007 paper catalog, it
appears on page 805 as a TTC Fine Centering Scope. But it probably
didn't sell well.
I did find this thread from 2006:
.
And this one

And this user's website (about halfway down):
.
In any event, even at $170 it's kind of expensive for what it does, and
I wonder if anybody has any experience with it or anything like it.
Also, does anyone know the actual make and model? It seems to start
with SKO.
Thanks,
