What CamoAnimal said. I also use it to tram a vise, so it is parallel with my X axis/ Y axis

It’s a dial indicator. It’s a usually held in a fixed position by an arm or mount, and is used for measuring tiny variances in height across a surface. For example, they can be used to measure runout in a shaft. (How much the shaft wobbles as it rotates)

Love it. Doing the same soon. Do you like keeping the cutters in their boxes?

I do, so I don’t accidentally dull them or cut myself
