need a new dial inidicator

[TomG]

You need a dial test indicator for indicating a vice. Dial indicators like the one you chose will work, but they are awkward to hold and take a lot more space. As far as it being a good indicator, only time will tell. Some of the Chinese knockoffs work, some don't. One thing it doesn't have though is jeweled pivots, so it will require more force to move. You pretty much get what you pay for.
