Don't you know anyone that has a lath in their garage...I'd bet they have one and maybe you could borrow it for the day...

They are not a bad tool to have in the tool box.

I think you can get them, along with an outside mike for
about 25 bucks from Grizzly.

You’ll use it when you rebuild your tranny and transfer case.

I have been looking at dial indicators on the web and there are so many types and variations I am not sure what I need. Obviously I need the dial itself but what type of mount is needed?

[Mike_B]

This is what you need...easy to mount and set-up...if you don't have a cross member close enough, clamp a piece of angle iron across the frame rails and put it where you need it.

It was on sale at the time.

So is the issue when purchasing a dial indicator getting the correct type of mount? I have been looking on ebay for one but I am not sure what to buy. Wes can you recommend what I should be looking for.

[wesk]

You will still need the dial indicator.

I have an old original Starret 196 series set that is primary using kit. I have several more assorted mountings I have accumulated over the years as well. I will use the magnetic mount occasionally but not very often. The clamp mount keeps her still better.



Here's a new in the box set for $124

There are dozens of different ways to get a dial indicator mounted in a fixed position so you can take a measurement. Just shop with an imagination.
