Description
Condition
Used (Well Used / Flawless Function).
This dial indicator is in “well used” condition, showing cosmetic signs of a busy life in the workshop (such as scratches on the body, bezel wear, or fading on the face). However, it has been tested and works flawlessly. The spindle moves freely without sticking, the return spring is snappy, and the needle repeats to zero every time. It is fitted with its factory Flat Back plate.
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 2046F is the classic Flat Back version of the industry-standard Series 2 dial indicator. Like the 2046S, it features a measuring range of 10mm with 0.01mm graduations and a continuous 0-100 dial reading.
The “F” designation specifically denotes that this unit was manufactured with a Flat Back plate (rather than a lug). This configuration is essential for applications where space is tight or where the indicator needs to be mounted in a fixture that grips the stem, such as a Bore Gauge or a specialised height gauge holder. The flat back prevents the tool from fouling against the handle or protective cover of the gauge. It features Mitutoyo’s shock-proof mechanism to protect the gears from sudden impacts.
Brand Information
Mitutoyo Corporation (est. 1934) is the global leader in precision metrology. The Series 2 indicators are the most common measuring tools in the world for a reason: they are simple, repairable, and incredibly reliable. The 2046F is a staple in toolrooms for setting up fixtures and checking runout where a lug back simply wouldn’t fit.
