Our verdict

A dial indicator with a wide range, a lug back and tolerance markers for shop measurement. The listing weight looks wrong, so rely on the box size instead.

Overview

Reading displacement along the spindle axis, this analog dial indicator shows microfine black graduations for continuous readings and red for balanced readings. A revolution counter hand tracks full turns.

The carbide ball point and hardened stainless rack are chosen for wear. The lug back lets the user rotate the dial to a convenient angle, and the tolerance markers help with pass or fail checks. No electronic output is offered.

Who it's for

A machine shop or home workshop checking runout and flatness over a one inch range will use the full travel. Anyone who needs data output or a test-style indicator should choose a different type.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Revolution counter hand
  • Adjustable tolerance limit markers
  • Carbide ball contact point
  • Hardened stainless steel spindle rack
Cons
  • Listed weight is not usable
  • Mounting hardware not mentioned

Performance notes

The spindle moves a rack that drives the pointer, so reading accuracy depends on the gearing and the contact point wear. The carbide ball and hardened rack resist wear, and the revolution counter tracks long travel.
