This magnetic base gives you a steady, adjustable mount for a dial indicator. Its strong magnet attaches to any steel or iron surface with a simple on/off lever. The flexible arm and fine adjustment knob let you put your dial indicator exactly where you need it.
Features and Benefits
- Strong On/Off Magnet - Holds the base firmly to flat or curved metal, giving you more placement choices than a fixed clamp.
- Fully Adjustable Arm - The flexible arm locks tightly at any angle, making your dial indicator readings steady and repeatable.
- Fine Adjustment Knob - Lets you make small, accurate movements at the clamp, which helps you zero your dial test indicator.
- Universal Indicator Clamp - Fits most common dial indicators with lug backs or dovetail mounts, making this a versatile magnetic indicator stand.
Applications
- Machine Setup - Setting vises, checking for runout on spindles, or positioning workpiece parallels on a mill or lathe.
- Engine Building - Measuring crankshaft end play, checking deck flatness, and verifying cylinder bore concentricity.
- General Fabrication - Using the dial gauge magnetic holder to check the flatness of steel plates or the straightness of welded assemblies.
