Spi 13-723-2 Dial Test Indicator Base Kit Magnetic

Product Description

The SPI 13-723-2 is a dial test indicator base kit designed for precision measurement in machining, tooling, and metrology applications. The kit includes a dial test indicator and a magnetic base, giving technicians and machinists a complete setup for checking runout, alignment, surface variation, and part positioning. The indicator features a 0.030-inch measuring range with 0.0005-inch graduations and a 0-15-0 dial reading on a white face. The 1-1/4-inch dial diameter is easy to read in typical shop lighting. Knurled knobs and lock screws allow secure adjustment and positioning during use.

This kit suits general-purpose precision measurement tasks in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance settings. The magnetic base mounts to ferrous surfaces such as machine tables, spindle housings, and V-blocks, making it a standard tool for setup work on mills, lathes, and surface plates. The 2.36-inch base length provides a stable footprint for consistent indicator placement. The 0-15-0 dial layout is preferred when measuring in both directions from a zero reference point.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard dial test indicator base kit suitable for use on ferrous machine surfaces including mill tables, lathe beds, and surface plates in machine shop and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup is typically performed by machinists or tool and die technicians. Before mounting, ensure the target surface is ferrous and free of chips, oil film, or debris that would reduce magnetic holding strength. Secure all articulating arm joints with the lock screws before taking a reading to prevent indicator drift. Do not overtighten the indicator clamp, as excessive force can affect spindle movement and measurement accuracy.
