I'd prolly scratch the inspection kit. You've got calipers and don't think the DTI is going to be very good. The magnetic base isn't very useful in my experience since the Taig bed is aluminum. I'm sure people get use out of their dial indicators, but personally I haven't yet, I'd wait until the need arises before buying one. So, with the $80 that would have been put toward the kit and the extra DTI get a nice DTI (maybe a used Starrett?) and a cheap micrometer.
When I started typing about 10-32 screws and stuff I was trying to decide if it really makes any difference what the Taig uses. The only thing I could come up with is that the Taig comes with a few 10-32 T-nuts and screws. So never mind about that I guess, get the clamping set. |
