TS-Aligner Jr question

[Matt Allan]

I know a few members here have the TS-Aligner Jr, I am thinking of ordering one and just curious which dial you got with yours.. I plan on getting the cheapest one they offer.

Wondering if anyone has had a problem with it, or if anyone upgraded to the others they offer?

Thanks

Mine came with an MHC dial indicator. I didn't upgrade, so I assume this is the cheapest. It has been fine - no problems in the 2 years I've had it.

If price ia concern, then buy a dial indicator from MCS Supply and get a magnetic base unit and mount it on a sled. I have 2 in my shop and used them all the time. I bought the whole unit for under $20.00.

Maybe the choices are new..


For 139 you get "china"

$166 you get a choice of: Fowler, Teclock, Peacock, Baker

and for $210: Starrett, Mitutoyo, or B&S

I plan on just getting the $139 china. I am sure it will do just fine.



Thanks for the replies.
