The base uses a powerful magnetic mount that activates and deactivates via a control lever, allowing secure attachment to ferrous machine surfaces such as lathe beds, milling machine tables, surface plates, and workholding fixtures. The articulated arm provides multi-axis positioning so the indicator can be located exactly where the measurement is needed. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and quality control inspectors are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis indicator base is suited for machine shop environments, toolrooms, and inspection stations where precise workpiece measurement or machine calibration is required. Typical applications include runout checks, surface parallelism verification, spindle alignment, and part setup on manual or CNC machine tools. The 385 mm rod length provides reach for accessing recessed or offset measurement points without repositioning the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArticulated arm design allows multi-axis indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80 kg magnetic pull force for stable attachment on ferrous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase footprint of 2.36 inches length by 1.97 inches width for compact placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRod length of 385 mm extends reach to offset or recessed measurement points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn\/off magnetic control lever for safe repositioning without indicator disturbance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose magnetic indicator base compatible with standard dial indicators and test indicators that use conventional dovetail or post-style mounting stems commonly found in machine shop and inspection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower down and lock out any machine tool before attaching or repositioning the indicator base on the machine surface. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of chips or coolant that could reduce magnetic holding force. Tighten all arm joints and clamp knobs fully before taking measurements to prevent indicator drift. This tool does not require tools for assembly but should be inspected regularly for wear on the articulating joints that could compromise rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.36 inches (60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.97 inches (50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.17 inches (55 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 385 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic Pull\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Articulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: CMS160928006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702106095922,"sku":"CMS160928006","price":174.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/227f2b958345d82c6c6b905cf71498b0.jpg?v=1788409239","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-cms160928006-magnetic-indicator-base-articulated-arm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
