Starrett 64214 Dial Test Indicator 0.03 in Horizontal

Product Description

The STARRETT 64214 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator designed for high-precision measurement in toolroom, machining, and inspection applications. It features a jeweled movement and precision gear-driven design that delivers reliable readings across a 0.03-inch maximum measurement range with a graduation of 0.0005 inches per division. The balanced 0-15-0 dial scale allows technicians to read deflection in either direction from zero. The dovetail mount provides secure, repeatable positioning on magnetic bases, indicator holders, and machine tool fixtures. Machinists, quality control inspectors, and toolmakers install this indicator for surface runout checks, part alignment, and fixture verification.

The 64214 is suited for use in both production and inspection environments where tight tolerances must be verified. Its narrow body and angled head design allow access to confined workpiece locations that larger indicators cannot reach. The 1.375-inch diameter white dial offers clear graduation readability under typical shop lighting. The satin chrome finish resists corrosion and reduces glare. The unit ships with a 13/16-inch (20.64 mm) long carbide contact point installed, ready for immediate use on metal, plastic, or composite workpieces.

Key Features

• Jeweled movement for smooth, accurate needle response across the full 0.03-inch range
• Precision gear-driven design ensures consistent graduation accuracy at 0.0005 inches per division
• Dovetail mount for secure attachment to standard indicator holders and magnetic bases
• Angled head and narrow body provide access in tight or obstructed inspection setups
• Revolution count hand tracks full sweeps across the 0-15-0 balanced dial
• Replaceable and adjustable carbide contact point included; 0.0787-inch ball diameter
• Satin chrome finish for corrosion resistance and reduced surface glare

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders, magnetic base arms, and tooling fixtures that accept horizontal-style dial test indicators with a dovetail shank.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators of this type are installed by machinists and metrology technicians using a compatible dovetail holder or indicator arm. Ensure the mounting arm is rigidly clamped before zeroing the indicator to prevent false readings caused by fixture movement. The contact point should contact the workpiece at a consistent angle to minimize cosine error. Do not exceed the stated 0.03-inch measurement range, as overtravel can damage the internal gear train.
