Dial indicators
 

WHJere can i pick up a decent one for a decent price? Ive seen HF has one at 14 bucks but a precision instrument like that IMO should cost a lil more than 14 bucks. Especially in a world of tools where you pretty much get what you pay for. Anyone know a good middle ground? between a matco $80 DI and a cheapo HF DI at $14?? Does craftsman have em? I know they have the magnetic holders but dont know about the actual dials.

TIA

Just wanting to start getting prepared to change mah gears.

They have a small selection. I would personally go with a Starret (sp?) but it's probably going to be out of your budget.

I got mine at ebay - does the job

Oh just eye it up!!! :eek2:

I use Mitutoyo myself, good stuff.

summit, and it will be at your door in no time

I bought a bunch of Mitutoyo stuff from http://www.use-enco.com - bought the dial bore gauges and the outside micrometers.

Warning, once you order from Enco, they'll send you HUGE catalogs for life. Suckers are like 3" thick and barely fit in my mailbox. ;)

I got a cheap one at HF a few years ago and it actually turned out to be a decent Baker one, I'm very happy with it.
