Disappointing Performance, Waste of Money

Industrial and scientific measurement requires accuracy and reliability, and unfortunately this product did not deliver. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I was able to identify that the measuring graduation was inconsistent and unreliable. The initial affordability was appealing, but the cost of misread measurements outweighed the savings. The only pro was the easy-to-read display, but it ultimately didn't matter when the measurements were inaccurate. Save yourself the trouble and…

Pros
  • Highly accurate and reliable for measuring small distances and angles.
Cons
  • The cost may be higher than some similar products on the market.

Not what I expected from Fowler

I ordered a display and back cover. but all i have is my back? So I tried putting it on a Fowler indicator from a previous order and to my surprise it didn't match. Not what I expected from Fowler.

Pros
  • Accurate Readings: The dial has very fine graduations for 0-100 continuous readings; adjustable bezel and dial zero setting everywhere
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Excellent readout for use on a lathe

I love this indicator and it makes my job 100% easier. The reason for the 4 stars is that when I swapped out the back cover for a magnetic mount, the holes did not line up with the screw holes a bit. I was still able to make it and get there, but that was the only downside. Other than that, it's a fairly accurate instrument.

Pros
  • Accurate Measurements: Equipped with a 2.25" diameter dial indicator with 0.001" divisions, revolution counter and tolerance markings for tolerance limits; Meets AGD Group 2 requirements for dial diameters
Cons
  • Not sure
