Samuel Y. ★★★★★

Having that precise 1mm thread pitch makes dialing in exact tool height a breeze on my lathe. The fit between the two halves is snug with zero wobble, just what I needed for cleaner cuts.

Grace V. ★★★★★

The machining on this bottom half is clean and the 1 mm thread pitch matches the original dial perfectly, so my compound reads true without any guesswork. Bolted right onto my mini lathe with no fitting issues, and it’s solid enough that I don’t worry about flex during light cuts.

Avery ★★★★★

The 1 mm thread pitch is exactly what I needed for fine depth adjustments on my mini lathe. It fits the compound rest perfectly and the 0.040" advance per turn feels precise without being finicky.
