Starrett 64213 Dial Test Indicator 0.02 in Horizontal

Product Description

The STARRETT 64213 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator designed for high-precision measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It delivers a maximum measurement range of 0.02 inches per revolution with a graduation of 0.0001 inches, making it well suited for tasks that demand fine tolerance verification. The indicator features a jeweled movement for long service life and smooth, repeatable readings. A satin chrome finish and narrow body design allow it to fit into tight measurement setups. The 0-5-0 balanced dial reading simplifies both positive and negative deviation checks without resetting the tool.

This indicator is used in precision measurement setups across machine shops, quality control environments, and tool-and-die operations. The horizontal style and dovetail mount make it compatible with standard indicator holders, magnetic bases, and surface gauge arms commonly found in professional metrology setups. The angled head and narrow body allow access in confined spaces where full-size indicators cannot reach. It ships with a carbide-tipped contact point measuring 13/16 inch (20.64 mm) in length. Licensed trades and inspection professionals working to tight tolerances on mills, lathes, surface plates, and CMM fixtures will find this indicator appropriate for their workflows.

Key Features

• 0.0001 inch graduation for high-resolution deviation measurement
• Jeweled movement reduces wear and maintains calibration over extended use
• Dovetail mount accepts standard indicator holders and arms
• Angled, narrow-body head accesses confined measurement locations
• Revolution count hand tracks cumulative travel across the 0.02 inch range
• Replaceable carbide contact point included; contact is field-serviceable
• Satin chrome finish resists corrosion in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as a dovetail-mount dial test indicator for use with standard indicator holders, magnetic base arms, and surface gauges that accept the dovetail-style attachment common to horizontal dial test indicators.

Installation Notes

Mounting and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with indicator holders and measurement fixturing. Secure the dovetail shank firmly in the holder before zeroing to prevent slippage during measurement. Avoid side-loading the contact point beyond the rated measurement range, as this can damage the jeweled movement. Verify calibration against a known reference standard before use in critical inspection work.
