FAQs
How do I calibrate the dial indicator?
Use a known standard (such as a gauge block) to zero the indicator and verify its accuracy.
What is the measurement range?
The gauge measures between 0-10mm.
What is the graduation of the dial?
The graduations are 0.01mm.
Can I use this on non-metal surfaces?
No, the magnetic base requires a ferrous metal surface.
How do I adjust the flexible arm?
Loosen the joints on the flexible arm, position the indicator, and then tighten the joints to secure it in place.
What is the overall height of the gauge?
The overall height is 175mm.
What's included in the package?
The package includes one Dial Indicator and one Magnetic Base.
Troubleshooting
Dial indicator is not moving
Check if the arm is obstructed. Ensure the base is firmly attached to a metal surface.
Inaccurate Readings
Recalibrate the gauge and ensure the measurement surface is clean and the arm is positioned correctly.
Magnetic Base Doesn't Hold
Verify the surface is ferrous metal. Clean the base and the mounting surface to ensure a secure connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Attach the dial indicator to the magnetic base using the provided mounting options. Ensure the indicator arm is free to move and that the dial face is visible.
- Compatibility: This gauge is compatible with any ferrous metal surface due to the magnetic base. Avoid non-ferrous materials such as aluminum or brass.
- Care: Clean the dial face with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Store the gauge in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid dropping or subjecting the gauge to shocks, as this can affect accuracy. Regularly check and calibrate the gauge to ensure precision.
