But what if its a top-quality brand, made in America, Switzerland, or Japan? Though it might be performing with sufficient accuracy and precision, it probably isnt, and either way you wont know.
Take, for only one example, a Compac test indicator I just had on my bench and tried to calibratean absolutely pristine gage with an action as smooth as can be, made in Switzerland by the premier gage maker in the world. Many sellers would list it exactly as is and call it perfect. Yet it was so grossly out of calibration as to be useless. This doesnt present a problem, of course, if youre unconcerned about the performance of your gages and you have a penchant for significant uncertaintyor are prepared to undertake the calibration yourself. But if you need to rely on the accuracy and precision of your gageswhich is the whole pointthen you must have confidence in them. This dial indicator is BETTER than a new one.I can make and guarantee that claim because every indicator I sell undergoes the following rigorous process and is calibrated to the following standard. Comprehensive and meticulous cleaning and inspection. Total refurbishing, including with new parts, where necessary. Precision tuning and calibration, for this indicator to a standard of twice the accuracy and precision of a brand-new dial indicator (see below for specs).
This is why the indicators I sell are a MUCH different proposition from the many uncalibrated mystery indicators for sale heremost of them, ludicrously, at higher prices, even when they're obviously antiques, covered in dirt with broken crystals, or clearly broken! No mysteries here; just the guarantee that this indicator will function like new, but to a standard twice as accurate and precise. 001 indicators this means accuracy of ±. 002, respectively, and repeatability and hysteresis within. In contrast , I guarantee the gage to twice that accuracy and precision: within ±.
0005 for the first 2-1/2 revs and ±. 001 for the rest of the measuring range; and repeatability and hysteresis within ±. While a new dial indicator might be this accurate, it may not be, you wont know if it is or not, and it certainly isnt guaranteed.

Certain sellers have appeared who are stealing my item-listing copy and style word for wordat least one to the point of shamelessly copy-pasting everything exactly as you see it here, down to the typeface. Gage was tested on a NIST-traceably calibrated gage tester that is graduated in 25 millionths.
This provides the precision necessary for testing even tenths gages. Nowhere else will you find this kind of guaranteed quality at such a value.

More importantlyand like all the indicators I sellit has undergone a thorough and meticulous process of cleaning and inspection, refurbishing, and precision tuning and calibration, so that it is indicating to a standard of supreme accuracy and precision, twice as demanding as that set by ANSI/AGD and used by all metrology shops and manufacturers for.

The classic American-made Starrett thousandths indicator, here guaranteed to a standard twice-as-accurate-and-precise as a brand-new one. Dial: Balanced-reading to 50 (0500).
