Mitutoyo MD599996K Dial Indicator Base Kit

Product Description

The MITUTOYO MD599996K is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement applications in metalworking, machining, and industrial maintenance environments. The kit pairs a dial indicator with a single-action magnetic base, giving technicians a stable, repositionable mounting solution for surface plate work, machine tool setup, and inspection tasks. The magnetic base measures 2.25 inches wide, 2 inches long, and 2.25 inches tall, providing a low-profile footprint suitable for confined work areas. This kit is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance mechanics who need repeatable indicator positioning on ferrous surfaces.

This kit is suited for use in precision measurement setups found in machine shops, production floors, and maintenance facilities. The single-action magnetic base allows quick on/off engagement, making it practical for repetitive inspection routines or machine tool alignment procedures. The included dial indicator and base ship together as a matched set, reducing the need to source components separately. Applications include runout checks, surface flatness verification, and fixture alignment on milling machines, lathes, and surface plates.

Key Features

• Includes dial indicator and single-action magnetic base as a complete kit
• Magnetic base base width of 2.25 inches for stable contact on ferrous surfaces
• Base length of 2 inches and base height of 2.25 inches for compact placement
• Single-action magnetic base allows fast on/off switching without tools
• Low-profile base dimensions suit confined machine tool environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style dial indicator base kit suitable for general precision measurement and inspection setups on ferrous work surfaces in industrial and machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics and requires no special tools beyond standard indicator stem holders. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of chips or coolant before engaging the magnetic base to achieve full holding force. Power down any rotating machinery before placing or adjusting the indicator setup. Follow facility safety procedures and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements when working near moving equipment.
