Of course, digital is preferred, but analog/needle would be great also.   Mike Rupp (Mike_rupp) Senior Member Username: Mike_rupp Post Number: 303 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 05:36 pm:    http://store.yahoo.com/tylertool/mit70insetwi.html. I've never seen a digital dial indicator. I prefer either Mitutoyo or Starrett. I'm not sure if that fits your definition of inexpensive.   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Senior Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 272 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 09:12 pm:    Starrett makes a good one, dont know where to get it, but its expensive. Theyre fragile too, be careful not to knock them off a table or even fall foward onto the needle.   Ron Brown (Ron) Senior Member Username: Ron Post Number: 683 Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2004 - 01:27 pm:    Starrett off ebay is where I got mine. The base needs to be really adjustable. You can skimp on the base more than the indicator.
