Christopher F. ★★★★★

The reference lines for both inches and millimeters are clearly etched, making it easy to read the dial position. I swapped out my old retainer and this one fit the 12mm bore without any fuss.

Hazel ★★★★★

The 12mm bore fit perfectly on my cross slide, and the 0.001" division marks are so precise. I’ve already used it to set up a couple of cuts, and it makes adjustments feel much more controlled.

Lily ★★★★★

The reference line is crisp and easy to read against the dial, and the 12mm bore sits snugly without any wobble on my mini lathe. The 0.001" marks align perfectly with the 1 mm pitch screw, so readings feel precise every time.
