First impressions.

Does indeed seem to work as designed. Place it in 2" draw tube with inbuilt set screw opposite 2" draw tube set screw. Place 1.25" item in Parallizser and tighten. It has fine tolerances and special guides which keep the adaptor parallel with the draw tube and the 1.25" item parallel with same. It stops the 1.25" item (including laser collimaters) from pointing off axis as the set screws are tightened. I will try to rustle up some pics of it in situ.

Thanks Colin. Look forward to seeing pics.

Some pics in situ. Detailed photos of the parallizing ridges can bee seen in the link in Eric's post above. It has a low profile. The right hand image is with a tublug in place.

Obviously not Lord Lichfield.:)

Straightforward! I should get one. Hope the shipping is reasonable for one?

Thanks Colin

13 USD for 1st class postage for that and the tublug I think.

Thanks Colin. I've asked Howie to let me know when new stock is available.
