Machined from steel, this contact point threads directly onto AGD Group 1 dial indicators using a 4-48 thread. The spherical radius tip provides consistent, repeatable point contact on curved, flat, or irregular surfaces. At 0.5 inches in contact point length and 3\/16 inches in diameter, it is sized for general-purpose indicator work on machine tools, surface plates, and inspection fixtures. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control professionals install this type of contact point as part of routine setup and calibration workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is suited for dimensional inspection tasks in both shop-floor and laboratory environments. It is compatible with AGD Group 1 dial indicators, making it a standard replacement or supplemental tip for indicators used in surface runout checks, bore measurement setups, and part alignment procedures. Its steel construction holds up to repeated contact cycles in production measurement environments where durability and tip geometry consistency are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius contact point style for consistent point contact on varied surface geometries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in production and inspection environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-48 thread for direct installation on AGD Group 1 dial indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 inch contact point length for standard indicator reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch diameter provides a compact tip profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with AGD Group 1 dial indicators that accept a 4-48 threaded contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eContact point replacement requires no special tooling beyond a contact point wrench or appropriate flat-jaw tool to avoid damaging the indicator stem. Ensure the indicator spindle is in the retracted position before removing or installing a contact point. Thread the 21-280-3 in by hand first to avoid cross-threading the 4-48 connection, then snug firmly without over-torquing the delicate indicator threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: AGD Group 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21-280-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712239042866,"sku":"21-280-3","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/59590eb3d264d09e2b8cc10eec306bec.jpg?v=1788485543","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-21-280-3-radius-contact-point-dial-indicator","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
