Product Description

The STARRETT 52937 is a replacement shank designed for use with 711 Last Word Dial Test Indicators. The shank provides the mounting interface between the indicator body and the holding fixture or indicator holder, allowing the indicator to be positioned and secured during measurement work. With a shank length of 0.5 inches (12.70 mm), it is a compact, direct-fit component for the 711 series. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, quality control technicians, and precision metrology professionals who service or replace components on dial test indicator assemblies.
