Starrett 50701 Dial Test Indicator Kit 9 Pc Series 196

Product Description

The STARRETT 50701 is a 9-piece dial test indicator kit built for precise surface, runout, and alignment measurements in machine shop, toolroom, and maintenance environments. The kit centers on a Series 196 anti-magnetic dial test indicator with a 0.2 inch measuring range and 0.001 inch dial graduation, giving technicians the resolution needed for close-tolerance work. The white dial face reads 0-100 across a 1-7/16 inch dial diameter for easy viewing under shop conditions. The complete accessory set means the indicator is ready to mount and use without sourcing additional hardware. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die workers, and precision maintenance technicians are the primary users of this kit.

The STARRETT 50701 kit is suited for residential machine shops, industrial production floors, and field maintenance applications where runout, concentricity, surface flatness, or part alignment must be verified. The included contact points, clamp, snug, hole attachment, and tool post holder allow the indicator to be configured for a wide range of workholding and mounting scenarios. The anti-magnetic indicator body resists interference from magnetic chucks and fixtures common in grinding and milling setups.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are installed by machinists and precision maintenance technicians using standard indicator holders, magnetic bases, or tool post mounts. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle or fixture is fully powered down and locked out. Use only the supplied contact points and hardware to avoid damaging the indicator tip or spindle thread. Periodically verify calibration against a known reference surface to maintain measurement accuracy.
