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).

• Indicators are used in various ways with magnetic indicator arms, or on the Surface Plate, in conjunction with a Height Gauge or a Surface Gauge.
• Indicators can also be used on machines, in special holders for either the Mill or Lathe.
• Indicators can be used to measure height, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, and more!

• 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)

• 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“)
