How to make a CRICKET GAUGE SOCKET

Tools needed: Bench grinder, eye protection, small flat file or sand paper, measuring tool and a drill.

Supplies needed: 27mm or 1 1/16 – 6 point socket, nut bolt and a washer, rubber of felt padding and a piece of dowel.

Steps: These proses can be improvised to suet your needed.

1) Run bolt and nut with washer through and tighten.
2) Chuck onto drill and set the drill into reverse if you are using your left hand to hold, as in pic.
3) Slowly run drill at a constant speed in a opposing direction to the grinder and take your time and start grinding on bench grinder. Use a cup of water to dip the socket in to keep it cool.
4) Often check to see how much you need to remove with a measuring tool, to about 30.7mm outside diameter.
5) Remove and clean out all the sharp burls with a file or sandpaper.
6) Cut dowel to length and I found an old syringe and used the rubber plunger as a padding so I wouldnt scratch the gauge.

I hope this will help give Cricket owners the incentive to make one for themselves!
