    HF Dial indicator on sale

    Not to bore anyone but the HF 1" dial indicator is on sale, $5 off. I was thinking about maybe picking one up for the next time the equipment needs maintenance and calibration. Can anyone talk about the good and bad of the unit? DBhost, I believe a search showed you had one, any review you would like to share?

    Thanks all.

    they have a couple of units with dials and one unit with digital readout, all 1" travel.

    My dial gauge projects:

    A more recent gauge and its inspiration - Oneway Multigauge (attachments)

    As for the HF gauges, they seem to work quite well, esp. for the money compared to what industrial suppliers sell them for... $35 and up.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
