how heavy is the base? will it hold the indicator on a wooden surface, i.e. without the magnetic field?

No , it is Designed to be used on a Metal surface with Magnet switch On

What is the diameter of the gauge’s stem (I need 3/8"=9.5mm diameter for my application)? Can multiple plungers be connected to extend the length?

The diameter of the gauge’s stem is 3/8"=9.5mm. You could add a plunger to extend the length as the contact tips can be changed. However I'm afraid of that would affect the precision. The toltal length for the stem and plunger is 1.9inch=48mm (not included the tip length).

can this be used with a drill press to find the center of round stock? thanks

I use this to set up front and rear axle gears it's used to fined the back lash.

What is the warranty on this product?

The listing does not mention a warranty, however the company states that if you have any problems with it they will respond in 24 hours to help out.

I used this to troubleshoot my vehicle shaking when braking. I was going to have both rotors resurfaced but was able to use this indicator to determine only one side was out of spec so it saved me the cost of doing the other side. It works well and the magnet seems strong. I dropped the indicator once while adjusting it and it didn't cause any damage. Great for DIY use.

Works great! Good quality and worked fine to check backlash on a ring and pinion setup.

This is an okay kit. If you are a professional this cheap of a kit is obviously not for you. For the avg. DIYer around the house though it works good. I have used it to check run out on sprint car axels and since its not NASA I am confident in the readings. Accurate enough for what I need. The magnet is not the strongest and the adjustments are a little bit of a pain. If you need something that will "work" for cheap this is it. If you need something more accurate and professionally built this is not it.
