Dial Indicator NACHEE Aluminum with Magnetic Base and 22 Tips

Description

Product Overview

The NACHEE Dial Indicator is engineered for high‑precision measurement tasks in industrial and scientific settings. Constructed from machined anodized aluminum, the indicator body resists corrosion and deformation, ensuring long‑term accuracy even in demanding environments. The instrument provides a full 1‑inch travel range with a guaranteed resolution of 0.001 inch, allowing users to detect minute variations in workpiece dimensions. A robust magnetic base delivers a pull force of up to 176 lb (80 kg), securing the device firmly to ferrous surfaces, while the V‑groove on the base enables stable mounting on cylindrical parts. The indicator includes a comprehensive set of 22 interchangeable test tips, ranging from fine needles to larger probes, making it adaptable for a wide variety of measurement scenarios.

Usage

This dial indicator excels in applications such as CNC machine setup, tool inspection, quality control, and routine maintenance of mechanical equipment. Its magnetic base and V‑groove mounting allow quick placement on metal tables, engine blocks, or rotating shafts, reducing setup time and improving workflow efficiency. The interchangeable tips enable users to measure both internal and external features, from gear tooth spacing to bore diameters, making the instrument suitable for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries. Whether you are calibrating a spindle, checking the flatness of a machined surface, or performing routine shop floor inspections, the NACHEE Dial Indicator provides reliable, repeatable results.
