(More customer reviews)In a nut shell, if
you have the need to measure stuff under 1/16" regularly and you're
not to particular about you're tools it's a good little rule. I
needed a cheapo for one of my classes I'm taking in school. The
clip-on-rule is too tight to slide well and causes burs and rough
spots on the edge of the rule which would more then likely skew a
scribe mark. It's finish is almost polished which makes it a bit
hard to see depending on you're angel to the light. I just took an
emery board and roughed it up to take some of the shine off. I do
like that it has decimal equivalent on the back, for the scatter
brained like my self that's a good time saver.
I bit of file work on the edges and some fine sand paper on the
face will make it more user friendly.

(More customer reviews)I bought this tool
to use for scrapbooking and card making.I like that I can make any
size circle I want.I do like this tool and do recommend it - but
there are a few drawbacks. I can live with them, but wanted to make
others aware just in case-
1st - it leaves a hole in the center of my circle
2nd - I have not found the measurements to be accurate, so it has
taken practice to get the correct size I am after
3rd - I really wish it had some kind of case to put it in, to not
only protect the blade, but also to protect me from the blade

(More customer reviews)Before reviewing
this item I should explain how I came to use it. I was reading a
recent special issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine entitled "The
Ultimate Guide to Tablesaws 2004". In this magazine I found the
article "19 Step Tune-up" by Paul Anthony. This article explained a
lot to me and really emphasized the importance of keeping your
tablesaw (and other tools) properly adjusted. He explained the many
components of a tool that can be checked/calibrated using a dial
indicator. I assumed throughout the article that he was probably
using some $300 model that would forever be out of my reach.
Imagine my surprise when he revealed that he was using the Grizzly
dial indicator with magnetic base attachment, and that these items
are precise and affordable on every budget!
Now for my review: Grizzly shipped my order in their usual speedy
fashion and I have to say I am well pleased with this purchase.
Once you hold this tool in your hands you understand that it is
good quality without being frilly. The construction seems perfectly
adequate, and my tests show this gauge to be quite precise as well.
Within minutes after setting up my dial indicator I was able to
determine that the aging blade on my tablesaw was no longer flat
and needed to be replaced.
All in all, this is a smart buy that will allow you to fine tune
your tools and check precise calibrations without hurting your
pocketbook one bit.

(More customer reviews)I was ready to
return this until I finally figured out that you have to spin the
nut at the top of the 'snake arm' to adjust the length of its
internal cable before turning the clamp arm at its base (because it
is a slightly different length depending on how it is
positioned).
NOTE: there are NO MANUALS at all with any of the three items that
come with this!!!
Its not too complicated once you figure it all out, but it too me a
while.
The snake arm thing seems like it holds quite well.I saw the
reviews for the regular straight arm indicator holders complained
of breaking plastic wing nuts so I thought I'd get this one and am
glad I did.
The set of tips are ok but don't seem like I will probably use them
except the one angled one.I was hoping one of the tips would have a
wheel but none do.
The magnetic base is typical 'chinese cheep' but functional.It
sticks well to thick metal but not to thin / curved metal (like the
body of a car).
The dial indicator is quite smooth in its operation.I don't see any
way to adjust or zero it (but I don't know if a good indicator
would have this either).There is a button thing on the indicator
that I can't figure out what it is for (I can unscrew it, but it is
not a replacement tip).

(More customer reviews)This is a great
item for anyone with a router table.I recommend it highly.My only
problem was that my router lift was more rounded where it had to be
attached so that it could work properly.I think including another
piece for those of us with rounded router lifts would be a great
addition and perhaps even 2 or 3 different sizes too.Secondly, the
drill bit for setting the screws to hold the mount breaks all to
easily for me.I found that the router lift and/or the router plate
(backside)especially when it is a very hard plastic do NOT drill
out well.In fact, I broke the drill bit and had to spend several
minutes removing it.Then the screw broke in the hole I had
drilled.I guess that I did not go deep enough and in trying to
tighten the screw into the plastic I overtightened it and it
broke.So, I had to drill out the screw with a larger drill bit and
replace it with a somewhat larger screw.A lot of work, but in the
end I love it and so does everyone who sees it in my shop.Buy it
you will be happy, but be careful on the install...Good Luck

(More customer reviews)In trying to get
cabinet face frames to fit closely to a wall, you'll need to scribe
an edge of your piece.Norm Abrams showed us that time and time
again.But where do you get a good compass to do that?
Look no further.This compass was made for this purpose, and it fits
the bill admirably.I've tried the cheap stamped compasses that we
all used in grade school geometry, and they'll always slip.I bought
a good quality locking compass used by draftsmen, but the knob that
holds the lead (and they don't take pencils) pushed the point away
from the wall, making it worthless.I did borrow a good compass once
from a friend that did do the trick.It was the Stanley 41-017, but
it is no longer manufactured.(I am only including the manufacturer
and number here in case someone does a search for it and can find
this as a replacement.)In fact, I think that this compass is
superior - it holds pencils better, is heavier steel and can scribe
a bigger distance.
This is a serious compass, heavy steel.I think that it was made for
woodcarvers, but it is perfect for scribing.No obstructions on the
side with the point, and the sleeve on the other side is designed
to hold a pencil firmly.The knurled knob locks the arms firmly in
place.
A lot of review for a simple tool, I know, but it shouldn't be this
hard to find a compass that gets it right.I'm glad this one
did.

8 COMPASS
Product Description:
Our compass is of excellent quality, with wing and knurled knob for
positive locking position. The pencil holder at the tip of the leg
ensures stability and accuracy, as well as making nearly any length
of pencil usable. The steel pivot point will penetrate the wood
surface, and the compass will extend to produce accurate circles up
to 20" in diameter. We feel this is a fine tool for the
woodcarver

(More customer reviews)I got a pair of
these calipers for those times when I have guests over at my
shop.They have the virtue of being cheap and light weight.The lack
of a locking screw makes holding a measurement difficult, and two
decimal place accuracy means you can be off a few thousands either
way due to rounding. For quality work, you will need to spend a
whole lot more - my Central calipers were well over $ 100 and are
considerably more accurate and feel better.These will get the job
done if you are looking for an inexpensive alternative for
woodworking, model work or similar, but I would not recommend them
for precision layout.When the units arrived, the battery was dead
in both, but since a spare was provided for each that was not a
major issue.If not for the price, I would have given this tool two
to three stars, but it does offer good value for the money.
