Starrett 64608 Dial Test Indicator Kit 7 Piece

Product Description

The STARRETT 64608 is a 7-piece dial test indicator kit built for precision measurement work in machining, toolroom, and inspection applications. The indicator features a narrow-body, angled-head design with a jeweled movement and precision gear-driven mechanism, delivering a measuring range of 0.01 inches with a dial graduation of 0.0001 inches. The 1.375-inch diameter satin chrome dial reads 0-5-0 and includes a revolution count hand for tracking cumulative deflection. A dovetail mount provides secure, repeatable positioning on standard indicator holders and magnetic bases. This kit is suited for machinists, tool and die makers, and metrology technicians requiring fine runout, alignment, or surface variation measurements.

The STARRETT 64608 is designed for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and toolroom environments where tight tolerances must be verified. Typical applications include spindle runout checks, part alignment on milling machines and lathes, fixture setup, and surface flatness verification. The included accessories extend versatility across a range of holding and mounting configurations without requiring additional tooling purchases.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with dial test indicator mounting and zeroing procedures. Secure the dovetail body clamp firmly before zeroing the indicator to prevent positional shift during measurement. Avoid applying side loads or impact force to the contact point stem, as this can damage the jeweled movement. Verify contact point seating and preload before taking measurements to ensure accurate readings.
