Default How much runout on TS is too much

Is it OK to have the dial indicator angled so the measurement can be
taken closer to the table or does it need to be 90deg?


The best practice is to keep the dial indicator plunger at 90 degrees
to the surface being measured (zero degrees tilt).

Looking at your site just made me realize that I don't need the
indicator near the table to check blade runout. I can do that up
high. I just need to get it close to 90deg near the table to check my
alignment.

Thanks again.
