Starrett 50702 Dial Test Indicator Kit 4 Piece Series 196

Product Description

The STARRETT 50702 is a 4-piece dial test indicator kit from the Series 196 line, designed for precision measurement in metalworking, machining, and inspection applications. The kit includes an anti-magnetic dial test indicator and three contact points (C, D, and E), providing the versatility needed for a range of surface, bore, and feature measurement tasks. The indicator delivers a measuring range of 0.2 inches with a dial graduation of 0.001 inches, allowing technicians to detect fine dimensional variation quickly and reliably. The 1-7/16 inch diameter white dial with a 0-100 reading scale is easy to read in shop conditions. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and quality control inspectors are the primary users of this instrument.

The STARRETT 50702 is suited for use in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and inspection departments where accurate runout, alignment, and surface deviation checks are required. The anti-magnetic construction reduces the effect of magnetic fields encountered near chucks, fixtures, and other tooling. The compact dial diameter and included contact point variety make this kit adaptable to setups on milling machines, lathes, surface plates, and inspection fixtures. It is appropriate for both production floor use and bench inspection work in professional trade and industrial environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision measurement tool compatible with standard dial test indicator mounting setups including magnetic bases, articulating arms, and inspection fixtures commonly used in machining and metrology applications.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are installed and removed by qualified machinists or metrologists using appropriate indicator holders and mounting hardware. Ensure the workpiece and machine are fully stopped and secured before mounting or adjusting the indicator. Avoid overtightening the clamp on the indicator stem, as this can affect calibration and dial movement. Store the indicator in its case when not in use to protect the contact point and dial mechanism from damage.
