I got this Federal dial indicator at a garage sale. It has a rectangular arm mount but no base. It's a .0005 indicator.
What I think I really need is a plunger style indicator but I thought I was getting a tool that was in good shape that I'd probably use and it was probably a bit of an impulse buy.
Could anyone tell me if this is worth it and what type of jobs I can use it for? I think it could do inside centering for holes. Any other houghts.
Thanks,
Christian
PS: I mostly do woodworking and want something to set up my new (old) jointer and eventually want a metal lathe.
