    I haven’t come across any other brands that include an integrated pivoting spindle, which I’ve found essential for this style of indicating.
    That's spectacular. I've mushed a few dial indicators on my CNC machines because I've overtraveled them when I wasn't paying attention with the MPG. Excellent work by the way, I'm going to subscribe to your channel.
