When aligning our Renishaw probe or the tailstock on the lathe - or any other operation where the dial indicator must rotate and the part remain stationary, we fiddle around with mirrors and stuff trying to read the friggin' clock during a full turn. I seem to remember a dial indicator where the dial clock was arrested to the machine with a piece of string and a magnet while the rest of the indicator rotated with the spindle... anybody seen such a beast?
