Clockwise Tools Dial Indicator, DICR-0105 0-1 inch

I've used this a few times in my shop and I really like it. I've set up my table saw fence up with it and I checked the run-out of my table saw blade. I have had no issues with it or the base. If you're looking for a nice dial indicator for your shop that won't break the bank...I'd consider this one from Clockwise Tools.

Nice instrument. Works good, has a decent amount of weight to it gives it a quality feel. The case it comes in is a joke. Don't these companies know once you screw on the mount you never take it off? Be sure to look at the "calibration" paper that comes with it. The serial number on the gage didnt match the paper. lmao. I would have been surprised actually if it did! I would buy again however.

Good budget indicator, well packaged in molded hard case. I’ve paid three times as much for another brand and it comes in a cardboard box

Firstly, as usual, the product arrived fast and in good condition. The plastic case is exactly what you'd expect at the price. It'll keep the unit safe and clean, but it's not ultra strong or particularly good looking. The product looks great, the markings are clear and the dial rotates well, but sticks a little so you don't have to worry about knocking it and having it move during use. There's a spare backpiece in the plastic case with a piece that you can use to bolt the device to things. I've used the device to calibrate my table saw blade to both the table saw and fence. It worked perfectly. I prefer analog measurement devices over digital, as I find I'll only use this kind of thing once or twice a year, and don't want to worry about dead batteries. Would by again without hesitation.

Use this to level my 3d printer bed. works perfect

For the money, this is a handy little tool that I never knew I needed. I just finished restoring a 1948 Atlas metal lathe and after using this little guy, realized it was out of true by about 10/1000... Works well with the magnetic base you can buy on Amazon or Harbor Freight.

I use this dual indicator to help center stock in an older 4 jaw chuck on my lathe, as well as checking runout on drill presses and other tools. Easy to read and study with a good base. I like the storage case to. It’s simple and effective.

Action smooth as silk. Price cant be beat. That why I ordered another as spare right after I got the first one. My line of work is a bit rough on indicators
