Value Collection 605-4071 Dial Drop Indicator 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605-4071 is a dial drop indicator designed for precision dimensional measurement in machining, inspection, and alignment applications. It offers a 1-inch measurement range with a dial graduation of 0.0005 inches, allowing technicians to detect fine surface variation and runout. The 0-50 dial reading scale, paired with a revolution counter, makes tracking cumulative displacement straightforward during setup and inspection. The white dial face and 2.28-inch dial diameter provide clear readability in shop environments. A lug back mounting configuration allows secure attachment to a magnetic base or indicator holder for hands-free operation.

This indicator is suited for use on machine tools, surface plates, and inspection fixtures in manufacturing, maintenance, and calibration environments. It is a standard English-unit instrument appropriate for machinists, tool and die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and quality control personnel who require repeatable, fine-resolution measurements during part inspection or equipment alignment tasks.

Key Features

• 1-inch total measurement range for broad travel capacity
• 0.0005-inch graduation for high-resolution displacement readings
• 0-50 balanced dial reading scale with revolution counter for tracking multiple rotations
• 2.28-inch white dial face for clear visibility in shop conditions
• Lug back design for secure mounting to standard indicator holders and magnetic bases
• English unit measurement system

Compatibility

Designed as a standard drop-style dial indicator for use with compatible lug-back indicator holders, magnetic bases, and surface gauge arms that accept industry-standard lug back mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or inspection technicians using a compatible magnetic base or indicator holder. Ensure the lug mounting is firmly secured before taking measurements to prevent indicator movement during readings. The spindle axis should be aligned as closely as possible to the measurement direction to minimize cosine error. Power-down or lockout of any rotating equipment is required before mounting the indicator for runout or alignment checks.
