Value Collection 135-0027 Dial Indicator Base Kit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 135-0027 is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement tasks in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance applications. The kit features a 0.001 inch graduation with a 0-100 dial reading range, allowing technicians to capture fine surface variation, runout, and alignment readings with reliable repeatability. The base provides a stable mounting platform with a 12 mm clamping diameter and a 12 mm post diameter, supporting secure indicator positioning during setup and inspection work. The complete assembly weighs 0.8 pounds, making it easy to reposition on the work surface as needed.

This dial indicator base kit suits general precision measurement and inspection tasks in both production and toolroom settings. It is appropriate for use with dial indicators mounted on surface plates, machine tool tables, and similar flat or ferromagnetic work surfaces. Machinists, toolmakers, quality control technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically use this type of kit when checking part geometry, verifying fixture alignment, or inspecting machined surfaces. The 55 mm base length by 50 mm base width by 63 mm base height footprint provides a compact, stable stance in tight workspaces.

Key Features

• 0.001 inch graduation resolution for fine measurement readings
• 0-100 dial reading range supports a broad sweep of inspection tasks
• 12 mm clamping diameter and 12 mm post diameter for secure indicator mounting
• Compact base footprint at 55 mm length by 50 mm width by 63 mm height
• 2-9/32 inch dial diameter for clear, legible reading at the bench
• Lightweight at 0.8 pounds for easy repositioning during setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial indicator base kit compatible with standard dial indicators using a 12 mm post diameter. Verify indicator stem and post dimensions before mounting to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this base kit is performed by machinists and metrology technicians. Before mounting the indicator, ensure the work surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or debris that could affect base stability. Secure all clamping hardware firmly before taking measurements to prevent indicator movement during the reading. Do not overtighten clamping fasteners, as this can damage the post or indicator stem.
