Alex I have a half dozen dial indicators and several mounting devices, as well as other precision measuring tools including a 12" dial caliper (0.001"). The dial indicators range from cheap Chinese 0.001" models, to good quality 0.001", to a good old USA Federal 0.0001" unit. Recalling Joel's advice I am not quite sure of the set up he suggests, or how to pinpoint the exact location of arm's rotation point. Happy to help you if I understand the setup.
