The best precision tools IMO are Mitutoyo. They are expensive as f-ck but you can't beat the japanese when it comes to technology.


Try E-bay, you might get lucky.

See http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMPAGE=1290&PARTPG=NNLMK32 for all sorts of dial indicators & magnetic bases.

You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer which is also a free download – http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Mitutoyo are nice. With precision tools, 999 times out of 1000 you get what you pay for. Personally, everything I own is Mitutoyo or Starrett.

I have to disagree when you say that Proform kits suck
