Mitutoyo 7013-10 Magnetic Indicator Base Fine Adjustment

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 7013-10 is a magnetic indicator base designed to securely hold dial indicators, test indicators, and similar precision measurement instruments during inspection and gauging work. The base produces 600 N of magnetic pull force, providing a stable, vibration-resistant mount on ferrous machine surfaces such as surface plates, machine tool beds, and lathe carriages. A built-in on/off switch lets the technician release or engage the magnet quickly without disturbing the indicator setup. A fine adjustment feature allows precise positioning of the indicator tip relative to the workpiece. Machinists, quality control technicians, and toolroom professionals install and use this base in production and inspection environments.

This magnetic base is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality inspection stations wherever a dial or test indicator needs to be temporarily and rigidly mounted to a ferrous surface. It is appropriate for both bench-top inspection setups and on-machine measurement tasks such as runout checks, surface flatness verification, and workpiece alignment. The compact footprint of the base makes it practical in confined machine tool environments where larger bases would interfere with fixturing or workpiece access.

Key Features

• 600 N magnetic pull force for secure, stable indicator mounting on ferrous surfaces
• On/off switch allows quick engagement and release without disturbing indicator position
• Fine adjustment mechanism enables precise indicator tip positioning
• Compact base dimensions suit confined machine tool and inspection environments
• Compatible with standard indicator mounting accessories and articulating arm assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style magnetic base for use with dial indicators, test indicators, and similar precision gauging instruments mounted on ferrous surfaces in machine shop and inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or quality technicians and requires no tools beyond positioning the base on a clean, flat ferrous surface. Ensure the mounting surface is free of chips, coolant, and debris before engaging the magnet to maximize pull force and stability. Disengage the magnet using the on/off switch before repositioning to avoid dragging the base across precision surfaces. Follow the instrument manufacturer's guidelines when attaching the indicator to the base arm.
