Nice. I don’t have any Accusize tools but I think they’re supposed to be pretty decent. Got a stand for it coming as well?

I love receiving packages! In fact I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to it!

Congrats on the new tool.

I have a mag base for an Accusize dial indicator already. I was sufficiently impressed by the dial indicator that I went for their DTI also.

Next up on the doorstep should be a 0-1" Mitutoyo micrometer

I don't own any Accusize measuring tools either, I always just thought they were another company that rebrands import stuff but also heard they were decent. I do have a rotabroach arbor from them that I use on the lathe which is not bad. I hear they are a Canadian based company?

Another brand I hear that offers decent affordable measuring tools is Insize. They cost a bit more than Accusize though.

Turns out the DTI won't fit my mag base.

I think I'll make an adapter for the 5/32" dovetail fitting on the DTI to the mag base.

One quick question for you good folks.
In the box is a small disc, maybe 1/2" in diameter with two small notches, 180 degrees from each other. The disc is in the picture at the beginning of this thread.
I have no idea what this is for and there's no paperwork with the device.

Its a wrench to take the stylus off.
