Starrett 50714 Dial Test Indicator Kit 10 Pc Series 196

Product Description

The STARRETT 50714 is a 10-piece dial test indicator kit built for precise surface, runout, and alignment measurements in machine shops, manufacturing environments, and tool rooms. The kit centers on a Series 196 dial test indicator with a 0.2-inch measuring range and 0.001-inch graduations, giving technicians the resolution needed for close-tolerance work. The 1-7/16-inch diameter white dial uses a 0-50-0 reading format for easy bidirectional measurement. The included accessories make the kit ready for a wide range of fixturing and setup tasks without sourcing additional components.

This kit is suited for machinists, tool and die makers, quality control technicians, and maintenance professionals who regularly perform machine setup, workpiece alignment, or runout checks. The Series 196 indicator and its bundled attachments support use on milling machines, lathes, surface plates, and inspection fixtures. The variety of contact points and holding hardware included allows the indicator to adapt to different workholding and measurement scenarios on the shop floor or inspection bench.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are typically installed and used by machinists or metrology technicians. Secure the indicator using the included clamp, snug, or tool post holder before taking measurements, and verify that all mounting hardware is firmly seated to prevent indicator movement during use. Always zero the dial against a known reference surface before beginning a measurement run. Handle the contact point and spindle mechanism carefully to avoid dropping or impacting the indicator, which can shift calibration.
