Default Need a Dial Indicator?

Hi Folks,

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you don't have a Dial Indicator in your collection, LittleMachineShop.com has a very nice "Dial Indicator, Magnetic Base & Point Set" on sale right now for $16.95. I have a couple of them and these are great sets for the price - perfect for our use. I have been dealing with these folks for years and they (Chris Wood, Owner) are very particular about what they sell. And no, I am not affiliated with them in any way - just passing on a good deal from a great vendor.

Enjoy!

Paul

Good deal but with S&H it almost doubles the cost. If I was next door and could pick one up not a bad deal at all.

It looks a lot like the Harbour freight setup I bought for just a little more $$$ BUT this one comes with a case! I always like having something sensible to store it in.

Great Christmas idea for the Wife to get for you.

I bought this same product from this vendor on Paul's suggestion and I am very happy with it.
You can't beat the price; I tried and theirs was the best.
