Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora D. ★★★★★

The reference lines for both 0.001" and 0.025 mm are clearly etched, making conversions quick without squinting. Fit perfectly on my compound rest with the 1 mm pitch screw, and the dial now turns with a satisfying, precise feel.

Evelyn ★★★★★

Installed this retainer on my mini lathe's compound rest and the 0.001" reference line is spot-on for fine adjustments. The 0.025 mm divisions are a nice bonus for metric work, and it fit my 1 mm pitch screw without any fuss.

Steven E. ★★★★★

The reference line is crisp enough to read at a glance, and the 0.001" marks sit exactly where they should on my dial. It fits the 1 mm pitch screw without any wobble, so setup feels solid.
