Magnetic Base Stand for Dial Indicators Why you need it Secure, repeatable positioning: a strong magnet holds your dial indicator firmly in place so readings stay consistent and setups are faster. Precise multi-angle adjustment: the flexible arm lets you position measuring tools at virtually any angle with fine control for accurate measurement. Simple operation: an integrated switch lets you engage or release the magnetic base quickly, so you can lock the tool in place or reposition it without fuss. Broad usefulness: designed to simplify tasks in machining, inspection, and calibration work where steady, accurate measurement is required. Key features and benefits Strong magnetic fixation: provides reliable holding force to keep dial indicators stable during measurement and machining operations. Flexible, accurate arm: supports precise adjustment of the indicator position and holds settings firmly once adjusted. Easy engage/disengage switch: quickly lock the base to the work surface or release it to move the assembly; straightforward single-handed control. Wide application: suitable for mechanical processing, workpiece measurement, device calibration, and other workshop or inspection tasks. Compatibility: made to work with dial indicators and similar measuring instruments used in metrology and shop-floor inspection. Robust performance: built to provide stable, repeatable positioning so you can focus on measurement rather than setup. Typical use scenarios Check runout on a turned part by mounting the magnetic base to the lathe bed and positioning the dial indicator against the workpiece. Set up a dial indicator for flatness or parallelism checks on a surface plate during inspection or assembly. Hold an indicator while calibrating fixtures or measuring tools, ensuring consistent reference positioning during instrument calibration. Operation notes Place the base on a ferrous surface, position the indicator using the flexible arm, then engage the magnetic switch to lock the base. Release the switch to reposition. Designed for straightforward shop use where reliable holding and fine positional control are required.
