Description
Product Overview
This vintage Peacock dial bore gauge set covers a 35–60mm measuring range and arrives as a complete kit — including its original wooden storage case and a Mitutoyo 2046F dial indicator that presents in near-new condition. Whether you’re checking cylinder bores, hydraulic valve bodies, or turned housing fits straight off the lathe, this is a toolroom-grade setup ready to go back on the bench without having to source a separate indicator or chase down extension rods.
- 35–60mm measuring range with interchangeable contact points — the full set of extension anvils is present, letting you step through the range without compromise. For a bore gauge to be genuinely useful across multiple jobs, a complete anvil set is non-negotiable; missing even one rod can leave gaps in your coverage.
- Mitutoyo 2046F dial indicator included — the 2046F is a 0.01mm graduation, 10mm travel dial gauge from one of Japan’s premier metrology manufacturers. Pairing a known, trusted indicator with the bore gauge stem means your readings start from a solid reference rather than an unknown third-party gauge of uncertain accuracy.
- Centralising / rocking measurement method — like all quality dial bore gauges, this tool is rocked across the bore to find true minimum deflection (the actual diameter). That technique filters out angular error and delivers consistent, repeatable readings that a telescoping gauge and micrometer combination simply can’t match for speed.
- Complete original wooden case — the fitted wooden box keeps every anvil, spacer, and the indicator organised and protected. Losing small bore gauge components is a genuine frustration on a busy bench; having the original case means nothing rolls away.
- Ideal for — checking engine cylinder bores and re-bore sizing, verifying turned housing and bearing housing fits, inspecting hydraulic cylinder and valve body bores, confirming bushing and sleeve press fits, and production incoming inspection of bored components in the 35–60mm class.
Condition
Used (Good Condition / Vintage Complete Set)
The Peacock bore gauge body and stem present with the honest patina you’d expect from a vintage Japanese instrument — there is age-related surface wear on the knurled grip and mild oxidation on the steel body consistent with decades of toolroom storage, but nothing that affects the measuring function or the integrity of the contact surfaces. The measuring anvils show no visible damage to their contact tips, and the centralising spring action functions correctly. The star of the show is the Mitutoyo 2046F dial indicator, which presents in like-new condition — the crystal is clear, the bezel rotates cleanly, the needle snaps back crisply with no drag, and the rack travel is smooth through its full 10mm range. All accessory anvils and spacers appear to be present per the original case layout. As with any used bore gauge, we recommend zeroing the instrument against a calibrated setting ring or a precision-ground plug gauge at the start of use to confirm zero and verify repeatability before committing to critical work. The wooden case shows age-related wear to its exterior finish but remains structurally sound and fully functional for storage and transport.

Brand Information
Peacock is a Japanese precision instrument manufacturer with a long history in dial gauges, bore gauges, and lever-type indicators, operating in the same tier as Mitutoyo, Teclock, and Käfer for general toolroom and production metrology. Japanese-manufactured gauging tools from the mid-to-late twentieth century are well regarded for consistent build quality, reliable spring mechanisms, and durable rack-and-pinion construction — and Peacock instruments from this era hold up well against modern equivalents in day-to-day workshop use. The inclusion of a genuine Mitutoyo 2046F indicator elevates this set further, pairing the Peacock bore gauge body with one of the most trusted dial indicator brands in the global metrology market.
