Ian,
You can only machine as good as you can measure
The more precise your measuring equipment, the more precise you can/will
attempt to machine. Get in a habit of this and you only increase your
skill.


True, but he doesn't need the more accurate indicator. That product is
probably made for industry where *insignificant* error can result in tens of
thousands in penalties.

The standard .0005" made in China indicator will be fine. You'll probably
also want a 1" travel plunge indicator ( in .001" grads) for general work.
Very useful for accurately measuring distances.

Regards,

Robin
