Here is the method I use to find the low spot on my table before I begin surfacing. Just move the gantry up and down the table. The indicator will show where the low and high spots are. Its not a good idea to turn on the spindle while you are doing this!! Disconnect the power to your VFD/router for safety's sake.

The dial indicator and magnetic base cost less that 25.00. I have found it usefull to aid in shiming the rails and and many small tasks around the shop.
