Fowler 52-585-500-0 Dial Indicator Base Kit Magnetic Base

Product Description

The FOWLER 52-585-500-0 is a dial indicator base kit designed for dimensional measurement tasks in precision trade and inspection work. The kit includes a FlexMag magnetic base paired with an AGD-style dial indicator, giving technicians a complete setup for surface, runout, and alignment checks. The indicator features a 0.001 inch graduation with a 0-100 dial reading range and a 2-1/4 inch dial diameter. The magnetic base provides secure, tool-free mounting on ferrous surfaces. At 4.8 pounds, the assembly is stable enough for bench and machine use. This kit suits machinists, maintenance technicians, and precision-trade professionals who need reliable repeatable measurements in the shop or field.

This dial indicator base kit is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial inspection environments. It handles common measurement tasks such as shaft runout, surface flatness checks, fixture alignment, and part verification. The magnetic base mounts to any ferrous surface, making it adaptable to mill tables, lathe beds, and surface plates. The two-piece kit is ready to use out of the box, with no additional accessories required for standard measurement setups.

Key Features

• Includes FlexMag magnetic base and AGD-style dial indicator as a two-piece kit
• 0.001 inch dial graduation for precise dimensional readings
• 0-100 dial reading range with a 2-1/4 inch diameter dial face
• Robust, shockproof indicator design built for shop environments
• Magnetic base mounts securely to ferrous surfaces without tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard upgrade kit for use with AGD-compatible dial indicator setups in precision measurement and inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools for standard magnetic base mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or coolant before energizing the magnetic base. Verify the indicator spindle is perpendicular to the measurement surface to avoid cosine error in readings. This type of equipment is typically set up by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with precision measurement practices.
