Comments

Jed Webster: I was surprised. For 45 bucks I didn’t expect such high quality. Good dial indicator and the base holds well. Great buy

Steve: For what it cost, I'm pretty happy with the quality of this dial indicator. Sure it's no Mitutoyo, but it's also 1/8 the price of even their low end models with the stand. I'm not doing anything high precision enough to justify that kind of money. Mostly just things like woodworking tool alignment.

The stand seems to work ok. Some have said it is hard to get it to clamp properly, but I haven't had that problem yet and nothing has broken while trying to tighten it down. The magnet holds well, and the base is smooth enough to slide across a cast iron table and maintain it's alignment.

The point set is handy. I needed a flatter one for setting jointer knives and the set included one that was perfect. I'll probably never use most of them, but at least I know they are there. It was difficult to get the factory tip off though as it was screwed on quite tight. I was afraid I would break something trying to crack it loose. But eventually I prevailed.

The one thing I wish it had come with is some sort of case. There are several at this price point that have a case, but I decided having the tips and the higher accuracy (.0005 vs .0010 for most others in this price...

Bob D: Dial indicator i received was sticking and wouldn't always return to zero. The magnetic base wasn't great but it was functional. I tried to return the set but
amazon told it it was not a returnable item - they told me to keep it but still refunded my money. Can't argue with service like that!
Anyway, potential buyers need to be aware that this product is priced where it is for a reason and you may get disappointed. I applied my refund to a higher quality set.

Seward: I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews here. The one I got is fine-- surprisingly good for the price. The magnet in the base could be a little stronger, but it's adequate. I haven't had any problem with adjusting or locking the stand. The gauge is fine. You can get nicer ones if you spend more, but this one works well.

Joe: So, it's not a Starret, but it is fine for occasional use. The only negative I will mention is the rotating face of the dial. It is too tight. I have loosened the screw all the way and it is still difficult to turn to zero the dial. I used it to set backlash on a rear differential. the magnet seems fine. It's a %30 indicator, so my expectations weren't high to begin with.
