Overview

A machinist setting up a part checks small variations with this indicator, reading from a one inch black face. The dial marking gives equal travel either side of zero.

Fine division suits tight alignment work. The model number field shows an error and the listed weight is not usable, so the listing is not fully reliable. Mounting is not described.

Who it's for

A toolroom user checking centering and runout will use the fine graduation. A general shop user wanting to measure larger travel should choose a standard dial indicator.

Performance notes
