Value Collection 6605-4070 Dial Drop Indicator 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6605-4070 is a dial drop indicator designed for precise linear measurement in machine shop, toolroom, and field service applications. It covers a 1 inch measurement range with a 0.001 inch graduation, giving technicians fine-resolution feedback when checking runout, surface flatness, or part alignment. The white dial face displays a 0-100 reading scale and includes a revolution counter to track full spindle cycles. At 0.5 pounds, the indicator is lightweight enough for repeated repositioning across a workday without fatigue.

This indicator suits applications where consistent, repeatable measurement is required: verifying shaft runout on rotating equipment, checking parallelism on machined surfaces, or confirming part positioning in a fixture. The lug back mount is a standard configuration used on magnetic bases, surface stands, and transfer fixtures found in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service environments. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision-oriented trade professionals working with mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 1 inch measurement range for general-purpose linear gauging
• 0.001 inch graduation for fine-resolution readings
• 0-100 dial reading scale on a white face for easy readout
• Revolution counter tracks full spindle rotations during measurement
• Lug back mount compatible with standard indicator stands and magnetic bases
• English unit measurement system

Compatibility

Designed as a standard lug-back dial drop indicator compatible with conventional indicator stands, magnetic base holders, and transfer fixtures that accept a lug-back mounting configuration.

Installation Notes

Mounting and zeroing should be performed with the associated machine or workpiece fully at rest. Secure the lug back to the holding arm or stand before applying any measurement load to the spindle. Verify that the spindle axis is parallel to the direction of travel being measured to avoid cosine error. Handle the indicator carefully to avoid dropping, as internal gear trains are sensitive to impact.
