This stand pairs a steel post assembly with a granite surface plate base, providing a stable, vibration-resistant platform for dial indicators and comparator gages. The fixed upright post arm style holds the indicator at a consistent position, while the fine adjustment mechanism allows technicians to dial in exact contact pressure and position without disturbing the workpiece. At 11.4 pounds, the unit is substantial enough to stay planted during measurement cycles. An anvil is included, making the stand ready for immediate use in transfer measurement applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stand is suited for quality control labs, machine shops, and toolroom environments where repeatable surface measurements are required. The square granite base measures 6 inches by 6 inches with a 2-inch base height, offering a flat, thermally stable reference surface. It is appropriate for use with standard dial indicators mounted via the included holder. Technicians performing incoming inspection, in-process gauging, or final part verification will find this stand fits naturally into bench-top or surface plate workflows. The 8-inch post height and 8-inch rod length provide adequate reach for most workpiece heights encountered in general precision measurement tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed upright post arm style for consistent, repeatable indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGranite surface plate base provides a thermally stable, vibration-damping reference surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFine adjustment mechanism for precise indicator contact setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes anvil and indicator holder  -  no additional accessories required for basic setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel post and arm construction for rigidity under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare base geometry simplifies alignment on surface plates and inspection benches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style comparator gage stand compatible with standard dial indicators mounted via conventional dovetail or post-style holders in bench-top surface plate inspection setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup and adjustment of this stand is typically performed by quality technicians or metrology personnel rather than field trades. Before positioning the indicator, ensure the granite surface plate is clean and free of burrs or debris that could affect the base seating. Tighten all post and arm clamps securely before taking measurements to prevent indicator drift. Do not overtighten the fine adjustment mechanism, as excessive force can damage the indicator stem or shift the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Post (Fixed Upright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStand Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stand with Surface Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel and Granite\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Anvil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Dial Indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41111600\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: 52-580-030-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FOWLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911243923762,"sku":"52-580-030-0","price":197.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c315321b7dc15c8d0b538ce110ac75f1.jpg?v=1791207598","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fowler-52-580-030-0-comparator-gage-stand-surface-plate","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
