Mitutoyo MD599998B Dial Indicator Base Kit 0.03 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO MD599998B is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement in trade and industrial applications. The kit includes a dial test indicator with a 0.03 inch total measurement range and a 0-15-0 balanced dial reading, allowing for bi-directional measurement directly from center zero. Dial graduation is 0.0005 inches per division, providing fine resolution for surface comparison, runout checks, and alignment work. The white dial face measures 1.5 inches in diameter for clear readability. An import-style indicator holder set is included, making this a ready-to-use kit for machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals who need a compact measuring setup.

This kit is suited for precision layout, alignment verification, and quality inspection tasks in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. The balanced 0-15-0 dial reading makes it practical for checking runout, flatness deviation, and positional tolerance on rotating or stationary workpieces. The included holder set allows the indicator to be mounted to a magnetic base or fixture arm for hands-free measurement. This type of kit is commonly used by millwrights, industrial maintenance techs, and HVAC equipment alignment professionals working on shaft and coupling alignment checks.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of this dial indicator kit does not require electrical isolation, but all rotating equipment being measured should be de-energized and locked out before attaching or adjusting the indicator holder. Secure the holder arm firmly before zeroing the dial to prevent measurement error from fixture movement. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines when performing alignment or runout checks on powered machinery.
