The kit centers on a magnetic base style with a dial indicator graduated at 0.001 inch per division and a full 0-100 reading range. The dial face measures 1-11\/16 inches in diameter, providing clear readability at the bench or on the machine. The post stands 7-7\/16 inches tall with a 3\/8-inch diameter, and the 1\/4-inch rod extends 6 inches to position the indicator at a wide range of heights and angles. The complete assembly ships in a finished wood case and weighs 1 pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is suited for residential and commercial machine maintenance, precision alignment, runout checks, surface comparisons, and setup verification on milling machines, lathes, and surface plates. The magnetic base provides secure attachment to ferrous surfaces without clamps or fixtures. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers. The kit includes all components needed to set up a complete indicator stand without sourcing individual parts separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnetic base style for tool-free attachment to ferrous machine surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.001 inch dial graduation for precise comparative measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0-100 dial reading range with 1-11\/16 inch diameter dial face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-7\/16 inch post height and 6 inch rod length for flexible indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete kit includes Base 657P, Indicator 650B1, Indicator Attachment 657Y, Post Assembly 657G, Rod 657X, Snug 657S, and Snug PT18724\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips in a finished wood case for organized storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a self-contained dial indicator kit; all included components are matched to work together as assembled.

Before attaching the magnetic base to any surface, ensure the workpiece or machine surface is clean and free of chips, coolant, and debris that could affect seating. Engage the magnetic base lock only after positioning the indicator to avoid unintended movement. Do not use this instrument on live electrical surfaces or in environments where magnetic fields may interfere with the workpiece or machine operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 inches (42.86 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches (41.28 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-15\/16 inches (49.21 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-7\/8 inches (47.63 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches (152.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-7\/16 inches (188.91 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (9.53 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finished Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 65259\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539533037874,"sku":"65259","price":837.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ea111932d48d669fe3d8b2805ec34f16.jpg?v=1785842516","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-65259-dial-indicator-base-kit-magnetic-base","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
