That dial indicator resolution was in tenths of thousandths so...it showed only about .001 runout?

Bajaman,

Nope. The larger graduations are .001". The small graduations between them are .0001". That shaft was showing almost .009" runout at that point on the shaft. Should be considered scrap by nearly anybody's definition.

Thanks. Brad.
