Jeez, someone has taken a lot of time to analyze dial indicators.

FWIW, there is a lot of junk on the market because, worldwide, there isn't
much of a market for dial indicators anymore. Mitutoyo built a little plant
to make them in the US (some suburb south of Chicago; I forget which)
because the US was just about the last market in the developed world that
would buy them. The rest of the world uses digitals.

I have both and prefer dial test indicators for on-machine use and for
comparison measurements, although I like digitals for off-machine gaging
applications.

I'm pretty fond of my Mitutoyo test indicator (0.0001") with a sub dial to let
you know
you buried it. Company provided but some day I'll buy my own for the garage
shop.

The web site was created by a company that repairs dial indicators. I
guess they were tired of telling people that repairing a Chinese dial
indicator was a waste of time...

Yeah, I know (or knew) those guys. I still think they took a lot of time to
organize and write all that stuff.
