It reads a maximum of 0.008 inches of travel with a graduation of 0.0001 inches per division and a stated accuracy of 0.00015 inches. The 0-5-0 bidirectional dial face pairs with a jeweled movement to deliver smooth, repeatable needle response. The 1.5-inch white dial provides clear readability under shop lighting. A clamp-mount system and included dovetail hardware make this indicator compatible with standard magnetic bases and indicator holders used throughout the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis indicator is suited for surface plate inspection, lathe and mill setup, fixture alignment, and runout checks on rotating components. The horizontal contact point orientation makes it well-suited for side-approach measurements where a standard plunger-style indicator cannot reach. The contact point extends 0.6 inches with a ball diameter of 0.08 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, quality control technicians, and precision measurement professionals are the primary users. The included molded case keeps the instrument protected between setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJeweled movement with automatic reversal for bidirectional, consistent measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0001-inch graduation for fine-resolution readings on close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.008-inch range per revolution with 0-5-0 dial layout for easy plus\/minus reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch white dial face for high contrast and fast reading under shop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp mount with two dovetail clamps and three dovetail mounting pieces included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded protective case included for storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to seat in standard dovetail-style indicator holders and magnetic base clamp systems commonly used with horizontal dial test indicators. Verify dovetail dimension compatibility with your existing holder before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial test indicators are installed by metrology technicians and precision machinists using magnetic base holders, surface gauge arms, or dedicated fixture mounts. Secure the dovetail clamp snugly before zeroing the indicator  -  loose mounting introduces cosine error and inconsistent readings. Ensure the contact point contacts the workpiece at the correct angle of deflection for the indicator style; excessive angular offset reduces accuracy. Handle the jeweled movement carefully and avoid dropping or shocking the instrument, as jeweled bearings are susceptible to damage from impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-5-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange Per Revolution\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jeweled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Contact Points Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 Dovetail Clamps, 3 Dovetail Mounting pieces, Molded Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FOWLER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52-563-777\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FOWLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918500102450,"sku":"52-563-777","price":267.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb8466dd399d2aeb888944d392c0b7ae.jpg?v=1791270471","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fowler-52-563-777-dial-test-indicator-0-008-in-horizontal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
