Mia ★★★★★

I’ve been avoiding re-tramming my mini mill for months, but this kit made the whole job take about twenty minutes. The universal arm holds the indicator solidly in the drill chuck, and checking all four points was super straightforward.

Timothy ★★★★★

The universal arm makes it easy to get the indicator positioned just right, and the shank fits snugly in my drill chuck. Trammed my mini mill in about an hour after a quick read of the instructions.

Thomas ★★★★★

Took me an afternoon to set up, but once the indicator was mounted on the universal arm and chucked in the drill, the four-point check went smoothly. The arm stays rigid enough that I trust the readings, and my vise is finally square to the spindle.
