With all other accessories, we recommend waiting until you have been faceting for a while--to see which you want--but, we recommend the Dial Indicator Attachment immediately--we think it's an "everyone-should-have" accessory. In faceting, the "action" occurs between the stone and the lap, where you can't see it. Using a Dial Indicator Attachment, however, is like having "eyes on the lap"--you know exactly what's happening at the lap surface--with great precision (over ½ inch of needle travel equals 0.1°). You see exactly where you are--all the time.

REDUCED INSPECTIONS--Inspections are reduced dramatically--in roughing, by perhaps 90%--greatly reducing faceting time. Importantly, that makes the faceting process easier on your eyes--leaving them fresh for the final polishing.

FEELING--AND BEING--IN CONTROL--The Dial Indicator Attachment "talks to you" all the time--from the start of the grinding action to the end. It tells you how much material remains to be removed and how fast it's coming off--when changing laps, it finds the new surface exactly, without trial cuts--it tells you if you mis-index--it puts you "in-control". You know what's happening as it happens (instead of inspecting afterwards--often too late). Its advantages are not fully describable in only technical terms--it's as much the feeling and the knowledge of being in control that's so important.

Why a dial-readout, rather than digital? Because a dial is much better for keeping track of faceting (just as it's better for most "action" tracking--for example, remember those digital speedometers? Incidentally, what kind of wristwatch do you use these days?). The design dampens out indicator flutter, and dual ball-bearings eliminate backlash.
