Robert ★★★★★

I needed to align my milling table to the spindle and the 0.0005" graduation on this indicator let me dial it in within a couple tenths. The dovetail mounting slot on the back is a nice touch, and the posts included made it fit my setup right out of the box.

Hannah ★★★★★

The 7-jewel movement feels smooth and precise when I test it against a surface plate. The dovetail mounting on the back makes swapping between the two included posts really quick.

Emma ★★★★★

Set it up on a milling job this morning and the 0.030" range was perfect for centering a work piece. The dovetail on the back made mounting to the magnetic base quick and secure.
