Starrett 63261 Dial Test Indicator Kit 7 Pc 0.03 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 63261 is a 7-piece dial test indicator kit designed for precision measurement in machining, toolroom, and inspection applications. The kit centers on a dial test indicator with a 0.03-inch total measuring range and a 0.0005-inch graduation, allowing technicians to detect very small deviations in surface runout, alignment, and part positioning. The 1-3/8-inch diameter black dial face uses a 0-15-0 reading format for bidirectional measurement. Machinists, toolmakers, and metrology technicians are the primary users of this kit.

This kit is suited for use on manual mills, lathes, surface plates, and inspection fixtures in both job shop and production environments. The included accessories cover common mounting scenarios: a dovetail body clamp, a swivel post snug with dovetail indicator clamp, a snug and rod unit, and a tool post holder give the technician multiple setup options without needing additional hardware. The carbide contact point and protective case are also included, making the kit self-contained for shop floor or field calibration work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style dial test indicator kit for use with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders and magnetic base accessories common in toolroom and machining environments. Manufacturer part number B811-5CZ is referenced in the product specifications.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are installed and serviced by machinists, toolmakers, and metrology technicians. Before mounting, ensure the spindle or surface to be measured is stationary and that all machine power is off or locked out per site LOTO procedures. Use only compatible dovetail or stem-mount holders rated for the indicator diameter to avoid damaging the indicator body. Do not overtighten clamping hardware, as excessive clamping force can distort the indicator body and affect calibration.
