Before reviewing this item I should explain how I came to use it. I was reading a recent special issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine entitled "The Ultimate Guide to Tablesaws 2004". In this magazine I found the article "19 Step Tune-up" by Paul Anthony. This article explained a lot to me and really emphasized the importance of keeping your tablesaw (and other tools) properly adjusted. He explained the many components of a tool that can be checked/calibrated using a dial indicator. I assumed throughout the article that he was probably using some $300 model that would forever be out of my reach. Imagine my surprise when he revealed that he was using the Grizzly dial indicator with magnetic base attachment, and that these items are precise and affordable on every budget!
Now for my review: Grizzly shipped my order in their usual speedy fashion and I have to say I am well pleased with this purchase. Once you hold this tool in your hands you understand that it is good quality without being frilly. The construction seems perfectly adequate, and my tests show this gauge to be quite precise as well. Within minutes after setting up my dial indicator I was able to determine that the aging blade on my tablesaw was no longer flat and needed to be replaced.
All in all, this is a smart buy that will allow you to fine tune your tools and check precise calibrations without hurting your pocketbook one bit.

I bought this to dial in the chuck on my drill press. It worked great! The magnetic base held extremely tight to the table. You can pay more for a dial indicator but you won't do any better.

Be careful when tightening down the indicator and different arms. The pieces are very fragile. I accidentally broke the coupling that holds the indicator on the arm. Grizzly doesn't sell any of the parts individually, so I'm left with a pile of metal and a worthless indicator.
Good for the price June 27, 2007

The members are quite sturdy except for the plastic clamping screw. Just worried that it would break off easily if tightened too much

One of the clamps broke after pretty minimal use. Contacted Griz and they got it corrected immediately, prompt and courteous customer service. Replacement clamp has worked fine.
