Spi CMS160726105 Dial Test Indicator Kit 10 Piece

Product Description

The SPI CMS160726105 is a 10-piece dial test indicator kit designed for precision measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. The horizontal-style indicator features a 0-15-0 dial reading with a measuring range of 0 to 0.06 inches and an accuracy of 0.0012 inches. Dial graduations are set at 0.001 inches, and the 1.18-inch diameter white dial provides clear readability. A jeweled movement and automatic reversal mechanism ensure consistent, repeatable readings across both directions of travel. This kit is assembled for machinists, tool and die technicians, and quality control inspectors who need a complete, field-ready indicator setup.

This kit is suited for use on manual and CNC machine tools, surface plates, and inspection fixtures in both shop and lab environments. The included accessories make it adaptable to a wide range of mounting and probing situations without sourcing additional components separately. Typical applications include runout checks, surface alignment, part positioning, and bore measurement setups where a compact horizontal indicator is preferred over a plunger-style unit.

Key Features

• Jeweled movement for smooth, accurate needle travel and long service life
• Automatic reversal allows bidirectional measurement without resetting
• 0-15-0 dial reading with 0.001-inch graduations for direct positive and negative deflection reading
• Dovetail stems included for compatibility with standard indicator holders and arms
• Revolution counter tracks full indicator sweeps to prevent reading errors
• Rotating dial enables zero-setting at any position
• Kit includes 10 pieces: indicator, dovetail stems, contact points, gage bar, adapter sleeve, and axial support

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use dial test indicator for standard dovetail-mount indicator holders and arms common in machine shop and inspection environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with indicator mounting procedures. Secure the indicator using the appropriate dovetail stem or adapter to a rigid arm or magnetic base before taking measurements. Ensure all clamping hardware is tightened before zeroing the dial to avoid drift. Avoid side-loading the contact point beyond the rated measuring range to protect the jeweled movement.
