The ball tip measures 0.063 inches (1.60 mm) in diameter, with a contact point length of 5\/32 inches (3.97 mm) and a tip diameter of 0.062 inches. The carbide construction provides durability and wear resistance suited to repeated contact with machined surfaces. This contact point is installed by machinists, tool room technicians, and quality control professionals who require accurate surface and runout measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is intended for use with Starrett 711 Series Last Word Dial Test Indicators. It is a common replacement or supplemental tip for indicator setups in machine shops, inspection departments, and precision manufacturing environments. Its small ball diameter makes it well suited for measurements in confined spaces or on curved surfaces where a standard contact point would not seat properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide ball tip for extended wear life under repeated measurement contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall diameter of 0.063 inches (1.60 mm) for precise surface contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContact point length of 5\/32 inches (3.97 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip diameter of 0.062 inches for compatibility with close-tolerance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Starrett 711 Series Last Word Dial Test Indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Starrett 711 Series Last Word Dial Test Indicators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact point replacement is performed by machinists or metrology technicians. Before swapping contact points, ensure the indicator is removed from the magnetic base or fixture arm to avoid accidental movement or damage to the indicator spindle. Use the appropriate wrench size for the contact point stem to avoid overtightening, which can damage the threaded spindle. Handle carbide-tipped points carefully, as carbide is hard but brittle and can chip if dropped on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.063 inches (1.60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (3.97 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: California Proposition 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541402026290,"sku":"52965","price":82.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4660eb85ef686764412695fe0e4fdec0.jpg?v=1785874940","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-52965-test-indicator-ball-contact-point-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
