I bought one of these,
The magnetic base is not strong enough if using a 2" dia indicator :doh:
its okish using a smaller indicator, but still easily dislodged  :bang:

I have sucessfully used it tho in awkward situations where the universal joint can help access
One of the uses is setting valve clearances on some British classic bike engines where getting a feeler gauge into place is very awkward. Most times I can clamp or bolt a piece of flat steel onto the engine to accept the magnetic base

PekkaNF:
If I really want one mechanical or hydraulic one knob magnetic base for lever type indicator do I have any other real good options than Mitutoyo which is really too expensive for my budged or Noga, which is just about there?

I need working fine tuning, there is no way around it when beter than 0,01 mm resolution.

I'm really, really disapoined on this Vogel/chinese stand. Fine adjustment does not work out of the box and and even after new parts it is iffy, arm locking is not very exact, fine tuning knob is on the clock holder, it is impossible to touch finetuning without affecting an setting, spring sticks and something on mating surface sticks/slips making adjustent smaller than 0,05 mm very random.

Should I paint it with eco friendly green color and chuck it?

lordedmond:
Sorry Pekka but the answer to your first line is no

save up and get a Noga if you can sorry if its not what you want to hear but the quality will be still there after you have forgot about the vast expense

Pekka,

Don't know if this helps or just muddies the water some more.
