Mitutoyo magnetic stand repair, just required a top-up??

Nice and simple repair in the shop today, a dti stand rescued from the scrap heap, a simple fix or something more sinister?
We go onto discuss some of the subtle differences between stands and how they operate, plus which one I’m likely to use going forward. Some good quality gear from a world class manufacturer with a surprising outcome.

Like you, I didn't know this sort of hydraulic stand existed. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for one.

They are very good, however if you don’t use them for a while, they seem to loose the oil but a quick top up sees them functioning perfectly once again. I don’t believe they were very popular, so may be tricky to track down but good luck with your search 👍
