It’s a clock made to look like a precision measuring instrument called a dial indicator. They are used to align machinery, true prices in lathes and mills and check for minute imperfections.

How does it work as a clock?

I think it’s a normal clock, but a bored machinist took a sharpie and some scrap aluminum and mocked it up to look like a mitutoyo DI gauge.
They are very pricey, precise gauges and making a clock look like one,, just a subtle, neat idea to turn heads in the shop is all..
It serves no practical use, just neat to look at, if you know the tools.."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

I had to take a second look but I got it. Its been a while. Guessing schooling was the last time I seen one.
It's just Sharpening, right?

I have a few, but rarely use them for more than checking lathe stock these days.
Great for truing things in the chucks when you reposition things on the lathe.
Or checking crank journals on a main shaft etc in the shop."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

Well I guess you can tell that I was never a machinist! Stuff like this is foreign to me. However, if you were to put a picture of an M-60 machine gun up there I would have known. That's the kind of machines I understand..... Originally Posted by RezDog

I guess the last time I used a Dial Indicator was on a Brake Lathe. Checking how true a Rotor was. But boy that was a long time ago.
