I got a digital one from Harbor Freight for like $25 or so. It's metric/english, take your pick. And it's the only place I found a metric one that had a decent throw to it. 20mm I think. I checked Enco, MSC, and I'm drawing a blank right now. But really, the only place I found, and where it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. You should see the god awful contraption I made to mount it! |

Thanks bbeardb - but I need one similar to the one I have on my deep throat calipers, which is mechanical. Its for a small brace height jig I want to make in order to measure fan brace height quicker/easier. |

Shane - thanks for clarifying that for me. That would work well and there's a Harbor Freight store in town. Just wish it weren't digital... |

I bought a couple of these ?12.93 dial indicators from Axminster in the UK, they work fine. I have no idea what shipping to the US would be, though.
