Spi 13-695-2 Granite Comparator Gage Stand 8 Inch

Product Description

The SPI 13-695-2 is a granite comparator gage stand designed for precision measurement applications on the shop floor or inspection bench. Built from solid granite, the stand provides a stable, vibration-resistant base that maintains dimensional accuracy during dial indicator comparator readings. The rectangular base measures 6 inches long by 6 inches wide by 2 inches high, with an overall stand height of 8 inches. A fine adjustment mechanism is included, allowing for precise vertical positioning of the measuring head. This stand ships with a holder and includes a certificate of calibration. It is intended for use by machinists, quality control technicians, and metrologists who require a reliable reference platform for comparative dimensional gaging.

The 13-695-2 is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality inspection environments where surface plate work or benchtop gage setups are standard practice. The granite construction resists thermal expansion and magnetic interference, making it appropriate for environments where steel stands may introduce measurement error. This stand does not include a dial indicator or anvil; those components are sourced separately based on the application.

Key Features

• Solid granite construction resists vibration, corrosion, and thermal distortion
• Fine adjustment mechanism for precise vertical positioning of the gage head
• Rectangular 6 x 6 inch base provides stable, low-profile footing
• 8 inch overall height accommodates standard comparator gage setups
• Includes holder for mounting dial indicator or comparator head
• Shipped with certificate of calibration for traceability

Compatibility

Designed for use with comparator gages and dial indicators that mount to a standard holder post. No specific indicator model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer; verify post diameter and clamp compatibility with your gage head before installation.

Installation Notes

Setup is performed by metrology or quality control personnel and requires no special tools beyond those used to secure the indicator holder to the post. Place the stand on a clean, level surface plate or inspection bench free of chips and debris to ensure an accurate reference plane. Do not drop or impact the granite base, as granite is brittle and may chip or crack under shock loads. Verify the certificate of calibration documentation is retained with the stand for audit and traceability purposes.
