Best mag base for the price.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable base for the price.The magnet is strong and the arm lock is sturdy.The compact size fits most cnc machines and other tight places.The precision adjustment knob is very smooth. I can dial to .001 increments easily.The design is ergonomic and the functionality is very reliable.It may seem expensive, but you are getting what you pay for. Excellent quality and and superior reliability.

Would give it 10 stars if I could!
Yes, it’s expensive, but worth every penny! I had three “cheap” holders that were frustrating, at best. I tried to save money and purchased a “Noga-knockoff” from a popular tool company. Arm action was good, but the fine adjustment was impossible. I returned it and “bit-the-bullet” and ordered the real deal Noga. Wow! Worth every penny. Now I actually enjoy using my dial indicators and test indicators, instead of dreading them! If you are even considering this, do yourself a favor and get the best instead of wasting your time and money on junk!

Rock Solid!
Like many, I have used magnetic base indicator holders in the $25 range for a long time. They work, but are often difficult to set up and get adjusted appropriately. "Fiddly" is the word.Not so the Noga DG61003 with the FA 1400 (fine adjust)! This device cuts the time for set up and proper adjustment enormously. Tightening a single knob quickly locks the entire arm in position.The fine adjust oscillates about plus or minus 0.010" as you turn it in any direction. This means you can put the dial indicator plunger "roughly" in position and then adjust it precisely.I use the Noga on both the lathe and mill. It is so helpful that I plan to buy another one for dedicated use on my mill.

Definitely worth it
I’m extremely happy with this product! I initially bought a cheaper model and quickly regretted it because it was flimsy and inaccurate. It’s totally worth spending a bit more and getting this higher quality stand!

The best and most versatile base available.
Probably the most useful magnetic base on the market. It's also the most popular for good reason. It's sturdy, versatile and all the parts are replaceable. It locks up tightly and doesn't flex, assuring accurate readings. Important note: Noga makes 4 sizes. This is the second size in the model line. Obviously, bigger than the mini base, but its slightly smaller than the MG61003, which is the 3rd model and probably the most common. This one is about 2" shorter and the arms are a bit thinner. I think its much easier to use in tight spaces, than the larger base. Its a perfect match for test indicators and firmly grabs the dove tails on my U.S. Mitutoyos. I own both sizes and use them all day long.

The base is heavier than I expected
This is a great stand! I’m impressed with the ease of adjusting the arms with only one knob. Setup is easy as pie. The base is a lot heavier than I expected but I can live with that. My Mitutoyo 513-403-10E would not fit into the dovetail slot. I ended up using the post attachment instead. One star off for that.Expensive. I bet the Clockwise version is just as good.
