2 inch travel indicator

[DCP]

I finally got my 2 inch travel indicator cost was $32.00.:-)
I wanted a 3 inch but the cost was about $100.
$70.00 for 1 extra inch seemed high. :groner:

That's the set-up I use. For doing barrel work, the 2" travel will do it all. Just slide the block/indicator up against the carriage, set it where you want, and go!

It's great for threading, I can't use a DRO when threading, those numbers just flash too quick for me. I set the indicator to zero where I want to stop, and watching the dial is easy!

I have the same one,,,setup the same way.
Watch out for it falling apart,,mine has done it 2wice!
And it's really fiddlesome to put back together!

With the cheaper indicators, I've found the plunger spring will kink up some and may hang up in that tube sometimes. Just watch for it, it may never happen.
