It measures a range of 0 to 0.25 inches with a 0.001 inch graduation, allowing technicians to detect small surface variations, runout, and alignment deviations quickly and accurately. The 2-3\/4 inch white dial features a 0-50-0 reading format and a no-glare satin finish for easy reading under shop lighting. The stainless steel stem measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 0.625 inches in length. Jeweled bearings provide consistent movement and extended service life. A lug back is standard, with a flat back included for mounting flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dial drop indicator is suited for use in precision machining, fabrication, maintenance, and alignment tasks. Typical applications include checking shaft runout, verifying surface flatness, setting up fixtures, and inspecting part dimensions during production or overhaul work. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and quality control personnel working with lathes, milling machines, surface plates, and magnetic base setups. Each revolution of the contact point advances the needle 0.1 inches, keeping readings easy to track across the full 0.25 inch range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0 to 0.25 inch measurement range with 0.001 inch graduation for fine-tolerance inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0-50-0 bidirectional dial reading on a 2-3\/4 inch white dial face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-glare satin finish reduces eye strain under bright shop lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJeweled bearings support repeatable, low-friction pointer movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel stem resists corrosion and wear in shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes both lug back and flat back for versatile mounting options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnbreakable crystal protects the dial face from impact and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AGD Group 2 dial drop indicator compatible with magnetic bases, indicator holders, and transfer stands accepting a 0.375 inch diameter stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial drop indicators are installed and used by machinists, millwrights, and metrology technicians. Secure the indicator firmly in a compatible holder or magnetic base before use to prevent movement errors. Avoid side-loading the stem during measurement, as this can affect accuracy and bearing life. Do not exceed the stated measurement range, as overtravel can damage the internal mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 to 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-50-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange Per Revolution\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/4 inches (69.85 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (9.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches (16.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jeweled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lug (flat back included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unbreakable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAGD Group\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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: 53523\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541465399602,"sku":"53523","price":278.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f319905699a5742ed62a93f8a731efcb.jpg?v=1785876919","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-53523-dial-drop-indicator-0-25-in-0-001-grad","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
