And I know they have combination blades. Roland Johnson of FWW said, at

Well, what was he hawking then?


He said, everyone with a TS needed a magnetic base dial

I ordered the base recommended here with the flexible "neck" (G9625)
from Grizzly. Looking forward to use it to measure runout on my DP, and
I'll be ready if a new TS should appear this year.
