Topic: Reccomend a dial indicator.

I think its time to purchase a dial indicator for calibration and trouble shooting purposes. Can anyone recommend a decent digital indicator that wont break the bank?

This is the one I just got:

(that looks like the same one that is in a lot of pictures around here of dial indicators in use)

And I made this absurdly complex holder for it to fit on my new style extruder assembly:

I got one from Sears for, like $14.  Works great.
