    Default What accuracy do I require with this dial indicator?

    Ok guys, my dial indicators have arrived from amazon and at $15 each they look to be of great quality and have a lifetime warranty.

    The only thing is they use Imperial Measurements and not Metric but I knew this before buying them.

    What is an acceptable tolerance from the front to the back of a 12" blade and say the tolerance over the distance of the fence?

    Also I have a digital caliper and if I do a test rip cut say and the piece is approx 50cm long, what tolerances are acceptable in woodworking with the width of the rip etc?

    Cheers guys
