Review on 🔧 Magnetic Adjustable Indicator Holder: A High-tech Digital Solution for Precision Measurements by Jerry Eintertainment

Pro: - Inexpensive, but does what it should. - Fine adjustment works well in both directions. the locking handle is held securely. - The on/off switch is smooth and reliable. - The base case feels solid and weighs around 1lb+. - Depending on the arm angle or the weight of your dial indicator, it can also be used without an anchor surface. The V-shape allows it to be used on irregularly shaped ferrous metals. Both the base and the back have fairly flat surfaces. Two possible mounting options. Decent item for the price. Cons: If you have a standard 3/4" stem mount dial indicator, you will need to modify (drill) the main clamp to accommodate the dial indicator. Other reviewers have noted this, and the spec sheet states that the mounting clip is around 8mm long. This is not a defect of the product! - The hex nut securing the arm to the base has been loosened slightly. A quarter turn with a wrench fixed it. - Other reviews note that the machined surface of the base is rough. That may be true, but once the magnet is activated, it's not a problem. Given the price, this cannot have been hand finished at the factory. Final decision: worth the money despite small flaws. If you want perfection you need to spend over $30. After a quick modification, this stand and lever is perfect for use with imperial dial gauges. able to.
