Good overall experience.Feb 27, 2011

The good:
1. Very good repeatability & accuracy (but not as good as Brown & Sharpe BesTest series). Keep in mind that this dial test indicator (DTI) only reads accurately when the pointer is parallel to the measuring surface. In other words, the measuring force must be at 90 degrees from the work surface. This is the same as most DTIs except Interapid and certain Starrett models, which reads accurately when the pointer is at 12-15 degrees to the work surface. But then again, most users of DTIs are using them for comparative measurements only.
2. Tilted dial makes it easier to read.
3. Very clear/crisp markings/graduations.
4. Somewhat low measuring force (but not as low as Interapid .0005" series).
5. Long range as Interapid (.06" - better than Brown & Sharpe BesTest series but not as long as my Compac 213GLA, which has a whopping .120" range). As with all multiple-revolution DTIs, the longer the range, the less accurate they become.
6. Good craftsmanship (except the bezel).
7. 3 dovetail mounts makes it a more versatile DTI. My horizontal Compacs only have 2 of them.
8. Anti-magnetic property. Unlike Compacs, BesTests or Interapids, this indicator is truly unaffected by magnets. There was a time when the only measurement I was able to take was to stick a very strong, flat rare-earth magnet to the part and measured the part using the edge of the magnet. This Mitutoyo needle was the only one that wasn't sucked into the magnet. Interapid, BesTest and Compac needles wasn't able to do this. Seems like the needle was made out of non-magnetic metals (3 series stainless steel?)
The bad:
1. Bulky - bigger body than most Swiss-made DTIs (except vertical Compac models).
2. PLASTIC BEZEL!!! While this make bezel replacement a breeze, it also make the bezel a lot more prone to breakage. Also, the bezel comes off too easily. A blow from the air-gun @ 90PSI is enough to knock it right off the dial face.
3. Solid stems. You won't be able to swivel the supplied stems to the angles that you want to use this DTI. Of course there are work-arounds but it would be nice if a swivel stem is supplied as standard.
All in all, a very good DTI set at a good price (from Amazon - No tax to California). I've only had this for about 6 months with sporadic uses. Will update this later if something comes up.
