RareBear: It works as advertised. Not manufactured in the USA.

HamptonRE: First time to use one of these, so it took me a bit to figure out the best way to setup, but once setup, it was easy to check, identify issues, and once resolved check the alignment of the drill press chuck. Drills holes are much better than before.

A. J. Luna: Do you have tools that need to be true (Drill press, Lathes, Rotary anything), then you need this tool. Understand that this tool is not mean to go onto something that has high relief, its meant to tell you how true something is. I've used tools like this for microscopic work. Although this is not that precise, it does its job very well, if you are willing to set it up appropriately.

The knobs are decent sized (even for my Sasquatch hands) and hold the system very steady. The magnet is very strong and the turn knob is very good. Little to no magnetism remains when you "shut it off." I highly recommend this tool.

Hopper55: now i will preface this by saying that you get what you pay for the arm that holds the unit is a little weak and it does have a tendency to loosen very easily, which is why it does not get 5 stars just because it is that annoying to me, but the gauge itself and the magnetic base are what really redeem the unit, the magnetic base is very powerful and has no trouble keeping the unit grounded especially when i am zeroing out a drill press or saw. the gauge is also very accurate at least for what i am doing i have compared it to a friends starrett gauge and it has always been less than .001 in difference so for the money you are getting a decent gauge, the dial is not a sturdy and seems pretty touchy but always settles on the correct mark, may be a slight burr on the tip of the gauge or something that causes this but it works fantastically and does what i ask of it.
