3rd hand for Lee Hardness Tester

[jsteed]

Made this little gadget to assist in useing the Lee tester as it is really hard to hold everything in place. The dimensions are not critical other than the
7/16" hole needs to be directly above the bullet grove. I used a curved router bit to cut the grove so it's easy to rotate or slide the bullet easily. A V grove would work as well.

I use the same method but with a simpler tool :) An empty ice cream bucket with the Lee tester poked through and with some cutouts for light, does the trick for me. Yours look better though ! I don't know how Lee think that the hardness tester could bee used without a stand.For me this was an impossible task, anyway.

Looks good. Clean, neat tool..

FWIW; I guess I'm not as creative as the OP, so I just use a magnifying head band/visor (4x) and a dial caliper.
