Very Happy I bought it! - I bought this when I was in a bit of a bind - couldn't find my venerable Baty lying any-whereabouts - and didn't want to buy anything expensive to replace it. There were other DTI's on here, but this came with a mag-base, was extremely low-priced, so I thought I'd give it a punt. In any case, a spare mag-base in a workshop is always a handy thing to have if the DTI turned out to be pants. It wasn't. The plunger is firm and positive (no noticeable lateral play in the shaft), and there is no discernible backlash in the plunger-to-dial mechanism. The mag-base is well made, and the various clamps are more than adequate for the jobs they are required to do. Honestly, I don't know how this is being produced for sale at this price point, but I am glad it is, and I'm very glad I took a gamble on buying it. Oh, and unlike a lot of 'cheapo' DTI's I've come across in the past, the ball-bearing at the tip of the plunger - actually moves! Yes, it revolves freely! (As you can tell, that really surprised me - in a lot of cheap DTI's, it's either for show, or they are just badly made) The DTI is exceptionally well made for the price! Since getting this, the Baty magically reappeared and proved that this new DTI is accurate as the Baty. I've now put my precious Baty into semi-retirement, as it is pushing 50yrs old [Oii! Cheeky! It was my Dad's!] and am going to use this new one instead in the future. If you buy, I hope you get one as good as mine. Susi xx Review: Great value for money! - Pleasantly surprised! Considering the price, this is an amazing piece of kit. The stand is good, the magnet strong, and very sturdy. The clock seems very good too, just needs a drop of oil on the zero ring and a bit of working by hand. The point has a little ball bearing, and the shaft is free moving. What more can you ask?! ## Features - Höhe: 175mm - Measuring range: 0-10 mm - fine setting transverse arm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B01HR4E1A6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,634 in Business, Industry & Science (See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science) 1 in Dial Callipers 16 in Infrared Thermometers | | Department | Car & Motorbike | | Manufacturer | AB Tools | | Manufacturer Reference | TE107TE108 | | Product Dimensions | 26 x 12 x 10 cm; 1.56 kg | ## Images ![Dial test indicator DTI gauge & magnetic base stand clock gauge TDC TE107TE108 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61evccJs0xL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: this came with a knurled know where you insert the dial indicator on the stand. what is that used for?** A: The horizontal bar is in 2 pieces joined by an adjustable spring clip which allows fine adjustment of the needle height at the test point. The knurled nut at 1 o'clock on the gauge casing is for zeroing the indicator by turning the bezel when the nut is loosened. **Q: Can this block and gauge be set to measure vertical faces. i.e can the gauge be set horizontally? Thanks. Regards** A: If I understand the question correctly; yes. My first task with it was to check run out (wobble) of my table saw blade. Also used it horizontally for accurate lathe spindle work, with the magnetic clamp on the caste iron bedways. For the aluminium saw table top I had to devise my own clamping system. B.V.F. **Q: what´s the problem delivering to Argentina?** A: No idea.Never been near the place. DJ **Q: Fine Adjustment or Not ?** A: The fine adjust is by sliding the clock along the bar until the hand starts to move.Then clamp it.Or else demagnatise the base and and slide the whole thing until the hand starts as above. There is no fine adjust on the clock itself. There is however a spring loaded adjuster on the bar which will enable you to present the pointer towards the work by small amounts. Hope this helps.

What more can you ask?! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Machinist and Work Setting + Good Value *by L***E on 25 September 2019* As a Machinist (Turner) I found this works well in clocking / setting up tasks with good accuracy. The price point is what caught my attention and the magnet is strong enough to support itself on the side of a tool post without falling off. The features it has higher end models also share, such as the dial that can tweak the angle of the rod for awkward angles. It also has a nut at the base of the rod that is threaded to the magnetic base which is a nice touch at keeping it tight, anyone who has used these knows how the thread can fail and make the rod spin and lose its entire ability to work. Overall would recommend this for a novice and more advanced Machinist for setting up and checking work pieces. The only issue I found was the dial even when adjusting the screw at the top will with some difficulty not turn to set to zero or where your needle is. However this may be a one off, and hasnt bothered me or stopped my use of this. For this price it's very well equipped. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dial test indicator DTI gauge & magnetic base stand clock gauge TDC TE107TE108 - WEN 10703 1 in.
