Peacock Pic-Test PCN-1A

Description

Product Overview

The Peacock PCN-1A “Pic-Test” is a highly sensitive lever-type dial test indicator (DTI), essential for precision centering, truing, and alignment tasks on lathes and milling machines.

• Automatic Inverse Action: The defining feature of the PCN series is that it operates without a change lever. The contact point automatically inverses, meaning the dial pointer will always rotate clockwise regardless of whether the probe is pushed up or down. This completely eliminates reading errors during complex setups where the probe direction might change mid-sweep.
• Precision Movement: It features a measuring range of 0.5mm with crisp 0.01mm graduations. The pivot of the contact point utilizes a miniature bearing to provide excellent indication stability and completely eliminate rod play.
• Durability: The outer frame features an integrated O-ring, enhancing oil and coolant resistance for reliable use in active machining environments.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Complete in Case).

This dial test indicator is in overall good used condition, with smooth mechanical action and a clear dial face.

• Included: It comes safely housed in its original protective plastic case. Crucially, it includes a threaded 6mm mounting pin (dovetail stem), allowing you to immediately attach it to a magnetic base, height gauge, or machine spindle.

Brand Information

Peacock (manufactured by Ozaki Mfg. Co., Ltd. in Japan, est. 1916) is a legendary name in dimensional metrology. While Mitutoyo is often the default name in the West, Peacock’s “Pic-Test” indicators are heavily favored by master machinists for their silky smooth movements and exceptional, lifetime-grade Japanese build quality.
