Starrett 63264 Dial Test Indicator 0.06 in Horizontal

Product Description

The STARRETT 63264 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator designed for precise comparative measurement in machine shop, toolroom, and inspection environments. It reads a maximum of 0.06 inches per revolution on a 0-30-0 balanced dial, with a graduation of 0.001 inches for fine-resolution readings. The 1.375-inch black dial provides clear contrast for high-readability work at the spindle or fixture. A jeweled movement bearing reduces friction and wear, extending service life under regular use. Licensed metrologists, machinists, and quality-control technicians rely on this tool for surface runout checks, part alignment, and setup verification on mills, lathes, and surface plates.

The 63264 fits standard dovetail indicator holders and universal magnetic bases commonly used in metalworking and precision metrology setups. Its horizontal configuration makes it well-suited for side-reach applications where a vertical plunger-type indicator would be obstructed. The contact point swivels 90 degrees, allowing the stylus to be repositioned without removing the indicator from the holder. The Series 811 design is appropriate for both bench inspection and on-machine measurement tasks in job shops, manufacturing cells, and tool-and-die operations.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard dovetail-style indicator holders and universal magnetic base arms common to precision metrology and machine tool setup applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of dial test indicators is typically performed by machinists, toolmakers, or quality technicians. Secure the dovetail shank firmly in the holder before taking measurements to prevent indicator movement during contact. Verify that the contact point is fully threaded and locked before use. Handle the indicator carefully to avoid shock loading the jeweled movement, which can affect calibration accuracy.
