This small-form contact point features a 4-48 thread size, a 1\/32 inch diameter tip, and a contact point length of 5\/8 inch, with an overall length of 1\/4 inch. Constructed from steel, it provides the dimensional stability and wear resistance required for repeatable indicator readings. The special form design suits setups where a standard contact point geometry does not provide adequate surface contact or reach. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control personnel select this style of contact point when performing surface, runout, or bore measurements with AGD-style dial indicators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is suited for bench and floor-level precision inspection tasks in both production and toolroom environments. It mounts directly to AGD dial indicators and is appropriate for applications requiring a fine-tipped point on flat, contoured, or hard-to-reach surfaces. The compact overall length of 1\/4 inch keeps the indicator assembly low-profile during fixturing. It is a single-piece replacement item sold individually, making it practical for stocking as a consumable or spare in any precision measurement program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-48 thread size for direct mounting to AGD dial indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/32 inch diameter tip for fine-point surface contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContact point length of 5\/8 inch provides reach for recessed or contoured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecial form design suited for applications where standard contact geometry is inadequate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 1\/4 inch keeps the assembly compact during fixturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with AGD dial indicators accepting a 4-48 threaded contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or metrology technician using the appropriate wrench or contact-point tool to thread the point into the indicator spindle. Remove the existing contact point before installing the replacement and avoid over-tightening, which can damage the 4-48 thread on the indicator spindle. Ensure the indicator is removed from any live fixture or powered machine before servicing the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.79 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (15.88 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches (6.30 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 70796\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538762006834,"sku":"70796","price":24.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bfce0c750e19b6a036ee5cdec0a600b8.jpg?v=1785826181","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-70796-drop-indicator-contact-point-4-48-thread","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
