It covers a maximum measurement range of 0.03 inches with a fine graduation of 0.0005 inches, making it suited for tight-tolerance inspection work. The 0-15-0 bidirectional dial face is printed on a high-contrast white background with a satin chrome finish body, and the movement is jeweled for durability and smooth, repeatable readings. The narrow body profile and dovetail mount allow it to fit in confined setups where a standard plunger-type indicator will not reach. Machinists, toolmakers, and quality technicians are the primary users of this instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 12527 is used in surface plate inspection, lathe and mill setup, runout checks, and fixture alignment. The horizontal contact point orientation makes it well suited for measuring in planes where a vertical plunger indicator would interfere with the workpiece or fixturing. The contact point reverses automatically, eliminating the need to reposition the indicator when changing direction of travel. The included dovetail clamps allow attachment to standard indicator holders, magnetic bases, and surface gauge arms commonly found in metrology setups. This indicator ships with two dovetail clamps, a contact point, and a protective case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03 inch maximum measurement range with 0.0005 inch graduation for high-resolution readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJeweled movement for reduced friction and extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContact point reverses automatically, allowing bidirectional measurement without repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDovetail mount type provides rigid, repeatable attachment to standard indicator holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrow body design allows access in tight or obstructed measurement locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSatin chrome finish resists corrosion in shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes two dovetail clamps, one contact point, and a protective carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard dovetail-style indicator holders and magnetic base arms.

Secure the dovetail mount firmly in the indicator holder before taking measurements to prevent slip during contact. Avoid overtightening the dovetail clamp, as this can distort the indicator body and affect accuracy. Handle the contact point and spindle carefully; impacts or side-loading beyond the rated range can damage the jeweled movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-15-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jeweled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dovetail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange Per Revolution\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3909\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches length x 4 inches width x 1.75 inches height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME, California Proposition 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two dovetail clamps, contact point, case\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: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12527\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540348043570,"sku":"12527","price":198.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c1a636e63904ae79e84aee11e8f38c0_e6e40789-1590-4b93-a670-9ddcff4cec64.jpg?v=1785852905","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-12527-dial-test-indicator-0-03-in-horizontal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
