Starrett 63266 Dial Test Indicator 0.03 in Horizontal

Product Description

The STARRETT 63266 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator designed for precise surface and runout measurements in machine shop, tool room, and inspection environments. It covers a maximum measurement range of 0.03 inches with a fine graduation of 0.0005 inches per division, allowing technicians to detect very small deviations with confidence. The jeweled bearing movement reduces friction and wear, supporting consistent accuracy over extended service life. The 0-15-0 balanced dial face is printed in red for quick visual reference. This indicator is installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, and precision measurement professionals.

The 63266 suits horizontal indicator applications on machine tools, surface plates, and inspection fixtures. Its dovetail mount provides a secure, repeatable attachment point compatible with standard dovetail indicator holders and magnetic base accessories. The swivel contact point rotates up to 90 degrees, allowing the stylus to reach into bores, slots, and tight clearances without repositioning the holder. The contact point measures 5/8 inch in length with a 2.00 mm ball tip. One contact point is included. This indicator fits general-purpose inspection tasks in both job shop and production environments where horizontal reach and compact geometry are required.

Key Features

• Jeweled bearing movement for reduced friction and long-term accuracy
• 0.0005 inch graduation supports high-resolution surface and runout checks
• 0-15-0 balanced dial in red for fast, clear reading in either direction
• 90-degree contact point swivel angle for access to bores and confined geometry
• Dovetail mount for secure attachment to standard holders and magnetic bases
• Replaceable and adjustable contact point extends service life

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard dovetail-style indicator holders, magnetic base fixtures, and inspection stands commonly used with horizontal dial test indicators in the STARRETT 811 Series.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are installed by machinists and metrology technicians and require no electrical power or special tooling. Secure the dovetail shank firmly in a compatible holder before taking measurements to prevent deflection errors. Avoid applying side loads beyond the rated swivel angle, as overtravel can damage the jeweled movement. Store the indicator in its protective case when not in use to protect the contact point and dial face.
