I have a flexable gauge arm/stand with a mag base.

Matthew,
I found that my Starrett snake arm required frequent adjustment to ensure rigid positioning. If a heavy dial indicator was attached, the flexible arm would have a tendancy to sag. The thing worked well enough with a piddly Last Word indicator or one of my Mitutoyo DTIs mounted but after the acquisition of the Noga, the Starrett along with a pair of Eclipse magnetic stands, resides at the back of the cupboard.
Bob.
