Neoteck Electronic Digital Dial Indicator Gage Gauge 0-1 Inch/25.4 mm Inch/Metric Conversion Auto Off Featured Measuring Tool for 3D Printer Leveling, etc. - Black

I have a few of these under different brand labels. So far, every one of them is perfect for the price. Compares just fine when checked with my jeweled Starrett. I hesitated to go digital, and there are still many situations where you want the analog needle spinning. But for adjusting or feeding by 1000ths these take the fudge factor out. And for steps on the lathe or mill, being able to 0 the indicator without spinning the dial makes it far more accurate. I really find hard specific numbers for those kind of situations leaves my brain more room for actually thinking about what I'm doing. 2 of these and 2 magnetic backs, and you have a super versatile and accurate 2 axis lathe or mill DRO for <$100 in 10 minutes. No downside.

A remarkably good little unit for the price. I bought it specifically because my analog (mechanical) dial indicator was a poor fit for the cramped space where I had to work on the head of a vintage motorcycle. I 3D printed a small holder for the gauge that could bolt to the studs on a rocker arm cover and place the gauge where it could follow valve lift. Even with causing crankshaft rotation by leaning on the kick starter lever, I got very repeatable measurements adequate to convince me that the pushrods had seated correctly when the head was reinstalled -- which was the whole point of getting this gauge. For the amount of money, plus the fact that this unit came in a hardshell case and had a spare battery with it, I would say it's a winner. I did have to open the back to put the (included) mounting bracket on it, so I got a look at its innards. They're not particularly complex, but they're straight and clean and get the job done.

I have only used this indicator a few times so far but it seems to be well made and accurate. It is heavier than expected which is good. Readings agreed with my other dial and test indicators and the digital display is clear and responsive. The digital display is easy to read and works well although I prefer a needle indicator for checking extended alignment and concentricity. The zero button enables easy incremental measurements and having the option to switch between imperial and metric units is handy, as is the accessary back plate with mounting tab. The included case is useable, includes padded retainers for the indicator and the extra back, and has a functional clasp. I doubt the plastic hinges will last long but it does provide good protection for the indicator for now. A spare battery is included also. My only complaint is that important specs are often not included in descriptions. In this case, the diameter of the upper shaft is not provided anywhere (it's 8 mm). Since indicator holders provide different clamping diameters this is something that should be specified. But overall, considering the low price for this digital indicator and its accuracy in reading to a thousandth of an inch, this seems to be a good option.

Came in a nice case and so far works pretty well. Seems like good quality. Fit my old Noga mag base so it probably fits most brands. I'm not sure I would get this for ultra precision but for good enough precision I'm sure this works fine.

these are great

Excellent. No problems so far

After zeroing out for a bore, it shuts off after non use. When you turn it on again it looses all memory and you have to reset zero again.

I recently received a gift of a 3d printer from my son. The "no cost" way to level the bed, which is required to get good prints, is to use a sheet of paper inserted under the print head extruder nozzle. You adjust the bed one corner at a time by trapping the sheet of paper between the nozzle and the bed until it has a "small amount" of friction when you pull out the paper. You repeat for each corner until they all feel about the same. Because reasonably inexpensive printers can print at about 0.1 MM accuracy this method is OK but not great. I found a 3d printed bracket to mount this Neoteck dial indicator on the print head of my printer. My first test was to use the "sheet of paper" method to level the bed then verify the accuracy using the Neoteck dial indicator. The result showed that the "sheet of paper" method was in some cases off by 0.05 MM which amounts to 50% of the accuracy of the printer itself. The method is to insert the Neoteck into the bracket then push it on the print head with a friction fit. You then can use a g-code file to position the head to each corner and make an exact adjustment. You can also move the head manually to accomplish the same thing. Usually 2 passes to adjust and reverify each corner is required to get the bed almost perfectly level. I have also discovered that the bed leveling can change from one print job to the next even if the jobs were printed back to back without turning off the printer. Bed leveling can also change by small amounts based on the bed heating and probably air circulation in the room. Bed heating is needed to make the very first few layers stick. I have seen what happens when the bed is not level even if just a very small amount. The first layer may not stick on some points or you get some "strings" on the first few layers if the design needs to move the print head in certain ways. The Neoteck device looks and feels durable and comes with a very nice fitted case. It is very simple to use and you barely need the small instruction manual. The accuracy appears to be very good. And all for about $25. So the bottom line is this fairly cheap solution has raised the print quality and the number of occasional "do overs" when you see the first few layer passes don't print correctly. If you are still trying to level without a digital gauge and have random print problems this could help solve your problem if it is related to bed leveling. If you you want to give it a try search your favorite 3d pattern site for "Bed Leveling Bracket" and "Neoteck".

I used this in a digital arrow spine tester that I built, and it works perfectly.

Product as described. Works well straight out from the box. Did some verification - it is accurate to well within the mm and the measurements are repeatable down to the 0.01mm as per description. Fairly solid construction. Obviously not sealed for use with chemicals. This works for my intended usage, calibration of saw blades.

価格は親切な価格ですが誤差範囲あります。

Trés beau comparateur numérique , fait le job , franchement pour le prix , je regrette juste que ces comparateurs ne disposent pas de rétroéclairage, ce serait le top .

Exelent product good quality
