If you do not require absolute precision and need a decent set at its price, then this is quite a good choice. The cons will come first. Those cons are The resolution is claimed to be 5 hundredths, but there is no way it could be true. The only way to validate is not to use a fake report (or even one copied from a passing one). By mounting this on the lathe and measuring a turned surface, the results could differ by several thousandths of a millimeter, depending on how you approach it (what direction you approach). As a result, I believe the tip surface is less accurate than the dial, or the mechanism is not very robust. The two choices of meters are far too easy to confuse. The item I did not order was delivered to me, but I was not aware of it at the time. As well as high spring force, the indicating probe has quite a large spring force. Whenever you are measuring soft metals, the spring force will deform the material you are measuring. However, the arm is not hydraulically locked (which is typical for the price) and the materials used are quite The pressure levers and balls will become deformed if it is locked in the same place multiple times. This is what the base The square is likely to be off. There is a lot of rough machining, and the magnet is never fully detached. There are a number of problems with locking it down when it's locked. Although I am not sure the mag base is strong enough to handle the pressure of the spring tip, I admire how they produced it. It appears that the mag base moves one degree when enough eccentric variation is present on the measured surface There is two of them.
PROS AND CONCLUSIONS On a lathe, this works well enough for measurements relative to one another. A company's travel accounts for roughly 40% of its total costs. Neither the accuracy nor the precision of the measurement can be )Arms can be locked into rigid positions, but I'm not sure how long that will last in a hobby setting. For a hobbyist where tolerances can be adjusted to one degree, I'd suggest clamping the arms at an angle. This may be fine for projects off of projects, but I wouldn't apply to anything that will need to be repeated. If you plan on using the item for light duty work or on occasion, this should be fine (though the batteries will soon die). You shouldn't ever tighten the arm more than absolutely necessary to make sure it lasts a long time (it's not hydraulic, so you can't Simply put it works well enough, but you have to take your accuracy needs and compare them to the specs for this, and assume accuracy will be less than half.
Was exactly what I wanted, but a little thin.
I like it best of all.
Despite the magnet not being very strong, it does its job. It is on a non-flat surface, but that also makes it work.
There is no magnetic part to use and it looks like it could be a waste of money.
A prop shaft for an outboard engine was checked for runout with this tool.
This is an overall good product that meets expectations.
