Starrett 196MB5 Universal Dial Indicator, Back Plunger, Yellow Dial, 0-50-0 Reading, 0-5mm Range, 0.02mm Graduation

While there is a need for indicators with finer graduations. Then the contact should be brought against the work with enough pressure to give the hand one full turn. Set the hand at zero by rotating the dial with the knurled bezel. This provides one full rotation of the hand both to the right and left of zero, showing a rise or drop in the work and the amount of that variation.
