I just spent about eighty bucks on a dial indicator and magnetic base and 
the next month I got a new cataloge in the mail.  They have the same thing 
for about twenty bucks!  Figures....that's the story of my life.

I think the company is Harbour Freight Tools or something like that.  I 
don't have it here at the office, but if you want the address and phone 
number I would be happy to get it for you.

Reply to my home P.C. which is katemike@inlink.com and I will send it 
right back to you.
