Spi 98-357-7 Indicator Transfer Stand Rectangular Base

Product Description

The SPI 98-357-7 is a rectangular-base indicator transfer stand designed for precision measurement applications in machine shops, toolrooms, and inspection environments. Standing 9.125 inches overall height, it positions a dial indicator or transfer gauge at a stable, repeatable reference point. The post-and-rod arm style provides rigid support, and a heavy-duty mechanical lock holds the arm firmly in position once set. This stand is installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, and metrology professionals who require consistent, vibration-resistant gauge positioning during layout and inspection work.

The 98-357-7 is suited for benchtop and surface-plate inspection setups in both production and toolroom environments. Its rectangular base measures 2.25 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 2.125 inches in height, providing a stable footprint on flat reference surfaces. The fine adjustment feature allows precise vertical positioning of the indicator. This stand ships without a dial indicator, anvil, or holder, and is intended for use with separately sourced gauging equipment. It is a practical choice for facilities that perform repetitive part inspection or transfer measurement tasks.

Key Features

• Post-and-rod arm style for rigid, adjustable indicator positioning
• Heavy-duty mechanical lock secures arm position under working conditions
• Fine adjustment function enables precise vertical gauge placement
• Rectangular base provides stable footprint on surface plates and benchtops
• Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST included
• Does not include dial indicator, anvil, or holder — compatible with separately sourced gauging

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose indicator transfer stand for use with standard dial indicators and transfer gauges sourced separately; confirm indicator shank diameter and holder requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Placement on a clean, flat reference surface such as a granite surface plate is standard practice for accurate indicator transfer work. Engage the heavy-duty mechanical lock fully before taking measurements to eliminate arm drift. No power source is required. Handle with care to protect the calibrated reference surfaces of the base from nicks or burrs that could affect seating accuracy.
