Product Overview

Setting up a dial indicator or digital gauge on a height stand demands a reference surface that won’t flex, warp with temperature, or develop burrs — which is exactly why granite is the default in every serious inspection room. The Micro MG6 Granite Base Stand gives you a 200 × 150mm x 50mm thick precision granite reference plate with a 300mm vertical column and ring-thread height adjustment, purpose-built for bench-top inspection work, comparator setups, and component QC. Combined with a quality indicator (not included — a Mitutoyo digital gauge is shown in the photos for reference) this is the kind of setup that takes quick, accurate comparative measurements straight out of the tool drawer.

200 × 150mm precision granite reference surface — dimensionally stable, non-magnetic, and immune to the warping and temperature-drift issues that plague cast-iron bases.
300mm vertical column with ring-thread coarse/fine height adjustment — quick gross positioning plus precise micro adjustment for dialling in zero.
Accepts 10mm gauge stems natively, with an included 8mm reducer bushing for the more common 8mm indicator stems (Mitutoyo, Mahr, Starrett and similar).
Granite holds up better than steel after a knock — if the surface gets nicked or dropped onto, granite chips or dishes inward rather than raising a burr. Steel and cast iron form bubbles and proud edges that ruin the reference flatness; granite stays flat around a flaw, so the rest of the surface keeps working.
Ideal for small part comparator inspection, stack-height checking, production QC, shim measurement, height gauging against a reference, and any bench-top job where you need a dead-flat reference beneath a dial or digital indicator.

Condition

Used (Good / Surface in Excellent Condition).

Transparent rundown: this MG6 has been in shop use, but the granite surface itself is in great condition — no visible chips, no dishing, no surface damage that would compromise its use as a reference. The column is straight, the ring-thread height adjustment operates smoothly through its full range, and the indicator mount holds firmly without drift under measuring force. Expect some light cosmetic marks on the column and base edges consistent with bench use; nothing that affects function. The 8mm reducer bushing is included and fits 8mm gauge stems (the most common size among Mitutoyo, Starrett and Mahr indicators). Please note the Mitutoyo digital gauge shown in the photos is for display purposes only and is not included with this listing — check our stock for a matching dial or digital indicator to suit.

Included:

1 x Micro MG6 Granite Base Stand (200 × 150mm granite plate, 300mm column)
1 x 8mm reducer bushing (for use with 8mm stem dial/digital indicators)
Ring-thread height adjustment mechanism (integrated)

Not included: Dial / digital indicator (shown in photos for illustration only)

Brand Information

Granite inspection bases like the MG6 are the standard foundation of bench-top metrology in toolrooms worldwide. Quality granite stands are prized for dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and — as mentioned above — their forgiving response to impact damage, making them far better long-term investments than cast-iron alternatives. A granite base is a tool you pass down to the next apprentice rather than replace.
