Precision Magnetic Base Tool Stand for Dial Indicators and Test Gauges This magnetic base tool stand provides a stable, adjustable platform for holding dial indicators, test indicators, small bore gauges, and other precision measuring heads. It is the stand only; measuring instruments are not included. Key benefits Reliable stability: Strong magnetic base secures the stand to ferrous surfaces to reduce movement and measurement error during inspection and setup. Precise positioning: Articulated arm and quicklock knobs allow fast, repeatable placement and fine adjustments so you can align the indicator exactly where needed. Broad compatibility: Designed to accept standard indicator stems and common gauge mounting hardware so it works with most dial indicators and small measuring devices. Durable construction: Metal components and machined joints provide longterm rigidity and consistent performance in workshop conditions. Compact and convenient: Small footprint makes it easy to use on lathes, milling machines, inspection benches, and portable setups without interfering with workpieces. Function and attributes Function: Holds and positions dial indicators and similar gauges for runout, flatness, concentricity, and alignment measurements. Compatibility: Fits standard indicator stems and common gauge mounting fittings; suitable for dial indicators, test indicators, and small probestyle measuring heads. Material and build: Robust metal construction with machined fittings and locking knobs for secure clamping and repeatable setup. Performance: Stable magnetic attachment and rigid arm reduce vibration and drift to help maintain accurate readings during measurement tasks. Practical use scenarios Machine setup: Secure the stand to a lathe bed to monitor runout while centering or truing a workpiece. Inspection and measurement: Mount a dial indicator over a milling machine table to check flatness and alignment of fixtures and parts. Maintenance and alignment: Use on a shaft or housing to verify concentricity and bearing clearance during assembly or troubleshooting. What is included Magnetic base tool stand only. Dial indicator and other measuring instruments are not included. This tool stand is a straightforward, durable solution for securing and positioning precision indicators in workshop, inspection, and maintenance environments.
