Mmmm, now that could be made workable, but its then another tool to change.
It also assumes, unless I make alignment adjustment provisions in the
curved tab, that the camera is dead on axis. I don't think I'd want to bet
a penny on that in a $22 camera. And That would also put me back to all
the tool changing I have to do with my present G38.2 based location
methods. Time killers. But if what I have in mind doesn't pan out, it
will be the next to try, thanks Mark.
Cheers, Gene
