Presenting the Mirror Master 1000 .

Wherever one pointer is , the other is always in the exact reciprocal position from centerline .
This will make it easy to build to 1/10th mm tolerance , which translates to 1/2 cm tolerance in 1: 1 -- ugly , but ..

Stepless dimming LEDs .
+ / - 5 mm fine tune height adjustment .

No build pics , any questions just ask .

That white paint band was for a position indicator scale , but the pincer tips sit at 8 times that gear radius away , making the gear teeth barely move in relation to the tips , so the scale divisions would need to be too tiny to be practical .
Could still be useful with different pincers installed in the future .

The below arrangement reduces that 8.09 : 1 ratio down to 1.1 : 1 .
1.1 since it's restricted to material on hand - mainly the 3" radius of that old protractor .
It's just to provide a visual indicator for the tip positions for repeatability when needed so the actual values are irrelevant - plus , the protractor is marked out in degrees and not millimeters for some reason . Ridiculous .
It still barely moves since it is tracking only half the division . Moving the tips 1 cm apart moves the pointer 4.5 mm .
a 1 mm spread moves the needle only .45 mm -- 90% of half the total gap at the tips .

Good enough for now . I don't think it will even be needed on this build .

I don't think it will even be needed on this build .

It is a fantastic build in its own right!

Oh, that is so cool to be able to see what angle you are at.

This really is a great jig.
