concentricity tool

Hello all. I've been investigating buying a concentricity gauge and came across a dude who asked the question: Why don't you make one? I laughed to myself, but a few clicks later, I was telling myself: why don't you make one! There is the usual plethora of Chinese made dial test indicators on eBay and barring the more expensive Mitutoyo found somewhat appear to be British made(?) Moore and Wright or another by Draper. If anyone has any experience in buying good and bad DTIs I'd love to hear from you.
I will also need to get a stand of some sort, there appears to be heaps to choose from on eBay too. Will a V block suffice for supporting the case? Excuse and errors... Using my phone for this one.

Re: concentricity tool
HI guys, finally got around to getting my tool together. I had some help from a friend. I got the DTI on eBay from Germany (Hahn & Kolb). It's got a Mercedes Benz sticker on the back. The base is solid acrylic plastic so I wont have to worry about it rusting and the stand is one of those magnetic DTI stands with the magnet removed. It's a bit finicky setting it up, but never the less it works well. Most of my ammo runout has been less than 2 thou with the occassional "holy crap that's out!" so am pretty happy with the results! I think the Dillon 550 will stay!
