Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The V-groove base made it easy to set up on my lathe's round ways, which was a pleasant surprise for such a compact tool. The on/off switch for positioning is a nice touch, and once locked down, the whole setup feels very stable.

Samuel ★★★★★

The locking joints are rock solid once you tighten that knob—no more sagging after setup. I used it on a pipe with the V-groove base and it stayed perfectly in place during my entire test run.

Carter ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the V-groove base, but it held steady on my lathe’s cylindrical bar stock without any slipping. The knob locks everything tight, so the indicator stays put during use.
