Noga MG1033 Indicator Positioner Holder Fine Adjustment

Product Description

The NOGA MG1033 is an articulated-arm indicator positioner holder designed for precise dial indicator and test indicator positioning in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. The holder features a fine-adjustment mechanism that allows technicians to make small, controlled movements when zeroing or repositioning an indicator without disturbing the overall setup. An adjustable rectangular base is included, providing a stable, low-profile mounting platform directly on machine tables, surface plates, or magnetic chucks. Overall arm length is approximately 14.6 inches (372 millimeters). The clamping diameter is 3/8 inch with an M8 thread size for secure indicator retention.

This holder suits precision measurement tasks in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality-control environments. It is used with dial indicators, dial test indicators, and similar gauging instruments mounted on lathes, milling machines, surface plates, and CMM setups. The articulated arm design gives the technician a wide range of positioning angles and reach, while the fine-adjustment feature is especially valuable when sweeping bores, indicating vises, or checking runout where small positional corrections are critical.

Key Features

• Fine-adjustment mechanism for controlled, repeatable indicator positioning
• Articulated arm design provides wide angular range and flexible reach
• Adjustable rectangular base included - no separate base purchase required
• 3/8 inch clamping diameter accommodates standard indicator shanks
• M8 thread for secure locking at each arm joint
• Overall arm length of approximately 14.6 inches suits a broad range of setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style positioner holder compatible with standard 3/8 inch shank dial indicators and dial test indicators commonly used in machine shop and inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, toolroom technicians, and metrology professionals - no special trade license required. Before mounting the holder, ensure the machine spindle or workholding device is fully stopped and locked out per shop safety procedures. Secure the rectangular base to a clean, flat surface using the integrated clamping mechanism before adjusting the articulated arm to the desired position. Tighten all arm joints firmly before taking indicator readings to prevent drift or vibration-induced movement.
