Description
Product Overview
The BIG Daishowa Accu-Stand (likely Model ASP-M or similar Series) is a premium Articulating Magnetic Stand designed for high-stability inspection.
This genuine BIG Accu-Stand features a robust Cam-Lock Mechanism. A single turn of the large central knob instantly and rigidly locks all three joints (base, elbow, and wrist) simultaneously, eliminating the “sag” often found in budget arms.
- Hydraulic-Style Rigidity: The arm segments are designed to be exceptionally rigid. The joints are protected by Rubber Bellows (boots), a signature feature of BIG Daishowa stands, which seal the mechanism against grinding dust, coolant, and chips—ensuring the lock remains tight for decades.
- Fine Adjustment: It features a dedicated Fine Adjustment Knob at the holder end, allowing for precise zeroing of the indicator without disturbing the main arm position.
- Holding Options: The head accepts standard Dovetail slot for lever indicators.
- Base: A heavy-duty magnetic base with a reliable On/Off switch provides secure mounting to any ferrous surface.
Condition
Used (Great Presentation).
This unit is in used condition but presents exceptionally well (“Greatly Presented”). Unlike many used stands that are caked in grease or have torn bellows, this unit is clean and well-cared for. The gold finish on the arms is bright, the rubber bellows are intact, and the magnetic base paint is vibrant. The locking mechanism functions correctly, holding the arm “rock solid” when tightened.
