I am using this indicator in a professional/commercial application in an environment with high repeatability and relatively high vibration. That's why you chose the Starrett brand and jeweled movement. After a few weeks of heavy use, the indicator lived up to the brand's reputation and offered a very high quality upgrade over the previous cheap branded indicator. The increased accuracy and stability have improved my productivity and made my professional work more enjoyable. I can only recommend it - and would buy it again myself.
