Starrett 52755 Drop Indicator Gage Holding Rod

Product Description

The STARRETT 52755 is a drop indicator gage holding rod designed to securely position and support dial drop indicators during precision measurement tasks. It connects to 657 Series magnetic base holders via a lug mount interface, providing a stable attachment point for indicator placement in inspection, machining, and setup applications. This holding rod is a direct accessory component intended for use by machinists, toolmakers, metrology technicians, and quality control professionals who require reliable indicator positioning on production floors, inspection tables, or machine tools.

This holding rod is suited for use in manufacturing, metalworking, and inspection environments where 657 Series holders are already in service. It extends the versatility of an existing 657 Series magnetic base setup by providing a proper mounting connection for drop-style indicators. Typical applications include surface plate inspection work, machine tool setup, and fixture alignment where a drop indicator must be held at a precise angle or position.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or metrology technicians and requires no special tools beyond the standard lug connection hardware used with 657 Series holders. Ensure the magnetic base and all holder components are fully secured and locked before taking measurements. Do not overtighten lug connections, as this may affect indicator alignment or damage the mount interface.
