Tesa Brown Sharpe 6412613 Dial Indicator Base Kit

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 6412613 is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement in machining, inspection, and alignment applications. The kit centers on a dial indicator with a 2.25-inch diameter face, a 0-100 dial reading range, and a graduation of 0.001 inch per division. A magnetic base provides stable, hands-free positioning on ferrous surfaces, allowing the indicator to be set quickly and repositioned without losing setup integrity. A Select-A-Point set is also included to expand contact-point options for varied workpiece geometries. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and quality control professionals install and use this kit on mills, lathes, surface plates, and inspection fixtures.

This kit is suited for shop-floor and metrology lab environments where repeatable, low-cost dial indication is needed. Typical applications include runout checks, surface parallelism verification, bore alignment, and machine slide travel measurement. The magnetic base mounts directly to machine tables, angle plates, and other ferrous fixtures without additional hardware. The included Select-A-Point set allows the technician to match the contact tip to the part material and surface finish at hand.

Key Features

• 0.001-inch graduation for direct, readable precision measurement
• 0-100 dial reading range supports both positive and balanced-reading setups
• 2.25-inch dial diameter for clear visibility at the machine or inspection surface
• Magnetic base included for tool-free mounting on ferrous surfaces
• Select-A-Point set included to accommodate multiple contact-tip configurations
• Complete kit ships as one unit - indicator, base, and point set together

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision measurement kit for use in standard dial indicator applications on ferrous machine surfaces and inspection fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a machinist, metrologist, or qualified technician familiar with dial indicator setup and magnetic base operation. Before mounting, ensure the target surface is clean and free of chips, oil film, or burrs that could affect base adhesion or indicator contact. Engage the magnetic base lock fully before zeroing the indicator to prevent unintended movement during measurement. Do not exceed the indicator stem travel limits, as overtravel can damage the gear train inside the indicator body.
