======Indicators======

Indicators are Yellow Level Tools and are unlocked after Metal Shop Orientation.
Our shop is equipped with 2 types of indicators: Dial indicators (also called drop indicators), and Dial Test Indicators (DTI's).

====General====
  * Indicators are used in various ways with magnetic indicator arms, or on the [[surface_plate|Surface Plate]], in conjunction with a [[etalon_height_gauge|Height Gauge]] or a [[surface_gauge|Surface Gauge]].
  * Indicators can also be used on machines, in special holders for either the [[bridgeport_series_1|Mill]] or [[mini_lathe|Lathe]].
  * Indicators can be used to measure height, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, and more!

====Dial Indicators====
  * Read in thousandths of an inch (1 division = 0.001", 1 rotation = 0.100")
  * Can be Zeroed by turning the dial face until the Zero aligns with the needle
  * Interchangeable tips
  * Can be attached via lug on back, or using a snug on the stem (stem is 3/8" diameter)

====Dial Test Indicators====
  * Read in either half-thousandths (1 division = 0.0005"), or ten-thousandths (1 division = 0.0001")
  * Can be Zeroed by turning the dial face until the Zero aligns with the needle
  * Lever arm probe can be positioned as desired
  * Can be attached via dovetails on indicator body, or by attachable stem (2 stems, 5/32" and 3/8")
