I have a Mitutoyo DTI that I bought at Cabin Fever two years ago for maybe $10. It's supposed to have a -15 to +15 range (.015 to -.015") with marks every .0005". It's their number 513-212.
It has issues. No, it's more like it has subscriptions. Out of the range of .030, it actually only moves .012 - about +/- .006". It has a lot of stiction and doesn't move smoothly or well.
I just bought a Shars replacement. I don't expect a $30 indicator to be as good as the Mitty - if the Mitty worked - on the other hand the Shars moves more than its claimed +/- .015 and has to be 10x smoother.
Does anyone know of a place to get this fixed without spending 3 or 4 times what the Shars cost?
