Dial Indicator, Magnetic Base & Point Set

I needed a dependable setup for measuring runout on my lathe, and the crisp graduations on this dial are a breeze to read even from an awkward angle. The magnetic base hasn't budged once, and the .001" resolution gives me the fine detail I was hoping for.

The magnetic base holds firmly to my mill table, and the 0.001" resolution lets me measure runout precisely without any guesswork.

Set mine up on the lathe tailstock and the 0.100" revolution counter made zeroing a one-inch stroke an absolute cinch. Even in poor shop lighting, those large numbers are legible enough that I didn't need to squint between passes.
