Fowler FOW99972D Dial Indicator Base Kit 0.06 in

Product Description

The FOWLER FOW99972D is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement in alignment, inspection, and quality-control applications. It features a horizontal test indicator with a 0.06 inch measurement range and a 0-15-0 dial reading graduated at 0.0005 inch increments. The 1.5 inch diameter white dial provides clear, easy-to-read graduation markings during setup and measurement tasks. A fine adjustment attachment is included to support repeatable, accurate positioning. This kit is suited for machinists, metrologists, and trade professionals who require dependable indicator performance on the shop floor or in the field.

This kit is used in precision layout, machine tool setup, runout checking, and surface alignment work. The horizontal test indicator configuration makes it well suited for accessing confined or angled measurement points where a standard plunger-type indicator would be difficult to position. The included fine adjustment attachment allows controlled movement for zeroing and repeatable measurement placement. Typical users include machining shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance departments performing mechanical alignment and inspection work.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with indicator mounting and zeroing procedures. Ensure the mounting surface and indicator arm are secure before taking measurements to avoid false readings. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines when mounting the indicator holder to machine tools or inspection fixtures. Avoid overtightening clamping mechanisms, as this can distort the indicator arm and affect accuracy.
