MR-1 - Dial Test Indicator W/ Base

Precision Measuring Tool for the MR-1 CNC Gantry Mill.

Includes:

• Dial test indicator
• Magnetic base
• Articulating arm

The dial test indicator is used for taking ultra precise measurements on the machine. Below are just a few uses:

1. Checking the squareness of the X axis to the Y Axis.
2. Squaring a vise so that the fixed jaw is parallel to either X axis or Y axis.
3. Squaring a vise so that the fixed jaw is parallel to either X axis or Y axis.
4. Comparing the relative height difference between two features.
5. Checking the flatness of a part before or after machining.

The indicator tip has 0.030” range of motion and can resolve deviations as small as 0.0005”. The magnetic base allows the articulating arm to securely attach to any ferrous surface. The ball joints that connect the links of the articulating arm offer universal range of motion for coarse indicator tip positioning. The fine adjust knob allows the user to easily zero the indicator on the surface to be measured. The indicator can also be mounted in the spindle using a ⅜” collet.
