Anyone using a neck wall uniformity gage like this one?

Obviously there is no stop for the case mouth, which would be fairly easy to make out of tubing, but still is a deficiency of the design. If the necks have already been turned, not as critical.
What I wonder about is the ability of the indicator stem to hold the neck firmly enough against the mandrel. Dial indicators I have used have a very light stem spring force, and I wonder if the neck will float a bit here (depending on the mandrel fit.) If so, the operator will have to press the case "down" against the mandrel while turning it, which is a bit awkward.
