Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Sebastian ★★★★★

It holds my dial indicator rock-solid with no sagging, and the 3/8" stem fit was snug without needing any fiddling. The 7.5" size is spot on for my mini lathe, though I wish the base were a touch stronger for heavier setups.

John ★★★★★

The dovetail slot on this mini base fits my dial test indicator perfectly, and the 7.5" arm lets me position it exactly where I need it on my lathe. The magnetic hold is strong enough that nothing shifts during cuts.

Robert ★★★★★

The 7.5" size is just right for my mini mill, and the rigid steel arm holds position without any sag. The dovetail slot grabbed my dial test indicator perfectly, no adapter needed. Way sturdier than the flimsy one it replaced.
