Spi 98-281-8 Indicator Transfer Stand 10 Inches

Product Description

The SPI 98-281-8 is an indicator transfer stand used to support and position dial indicators during precision measurement tasks. Standing 10 inches tall, this stand provides a stable base for transferring measurements in machining, inspection, and layout work. It is used on surface plates, machine tables, and workbenches where accurate, repeatable indicator positioning is required. The unit weighs 1.5 pounds, making it easy to reposition without disrupting the work surface. This stand does not include a dial indicator, anvil, or holder, so it is typically purchased to complement an existing measurement setup.

This stand is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, quality control labs, and production floor inspection stations. It is designed for applications where a dedicated transfer stand is needed to hold an indicator at a fixed height while measurements are compared or transferred between workpieces. The 10-inch overall height provides vertical reach appropriate for most bench-level inspection setups. Machinists, metrologists, and quality technicians are the primary users of this tool.

Key Features

• 10-inch overall height provides adequate reach for standard bench and surface plate inspection work
• Indicator transfer stand type — purpose-built for positioning dial indicators during measurement transfer
• Compact and lightweight at 1.5 pounds for easy repositioning on the work surface
• No fine adjustment mechanism — fixed-height design keeps the setup simple and stable
• Stand only — no dial indicator, anvil, or holder included, allowing use with existing tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone indicator transfer stand compatible with standard dial indicator setups used in precision measurement and inspection applications. Specific indicator or holder compatibility was not provided; verify attachment interface before ordering.

Installation Notes

Placement should be on a clean, flat surface such as a granite surface plate or cast iron machine table to ensure an accurate and stable base. No power tools or electrical connections are required for setup. Ensure the stand is positioned so the indicator stem is perpendicular to the workpiece surface to avoid cosine error in readings. Handle with care to avoid dropping, which can affect the calibration or structural integrity of the stand.
