Value Collection 6432330 Dial Indicator Base Kit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6432330 is a dial indicator base kit designed for precision measurement in mechanical, maintenance, and machining applications. The kit includes a dial indicator and a magnetic base with a C-style holder, providing a complete setup for runout checks, surface alignment, and component inspection. The dial indicator features a white face with 0.001 inch graduations and a 0-100 reading scale, giving technicians clear, repeatable readings across a 0.5 inch measuring range. This kit is suited for use in shops, field service environments, and on machinery where accurate linear measurement is required.

This dial indicator base kit is a practical choice for maintenance technicians, machinists, millwrights, and precision measurement professionals who need a ready-to-use indicator setup without sourcing components separately. The magnetic base attaches securely to ferrous surfaces, making it well suited for machine tool setups, shaft alignment checks, and surface plate work. The C-style holder provides flexible positioning of the indicator for a wide range of measurement orientations.

Key Features

• 0.001 inch graduations for precise linear measurement readings
• 0-100 dial reading scale on a white dial face for easy visibility
• 0.5 inch total measuring range
• Magnetic base provides secure attachment to ferrous work surfaces
• C-style holder allows flexible indicator positioning
• Kit includes both dial indicator and magnetic base for a complete setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial indicator base kit suitable for standard mechanical measurement and inspection tasks on ferrous surfaces in shop and field service environments.

Installation Notes

Machinists and maintenance technicians typically install dial indicator setups. Before mounting, ensure the magnetic base surface and the workpiece or machine surface are clean and free of debris to achieve a stable hold. Verify the indicator spindle is aligned perpendicular to the measured surface to avoid cosine error in readings. Power down and lock out any rotating equipment before positioning the indicator against a rotating component.
