Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 513-284F is a precision lever-type dial test indicator (DTI), an essential instrument for operations requiring high sensitivity and versatility, such as centering workpieces on a lathe or checking runout on rotating shafts. This model features automatic reversal of measuring direction, allowing for seamless reading regardless of whether the probe is pushed up or down. It utilises a jewelled bearing mechanism which ensures high sensitivity and durability by reducing friction within the movement. The dial face is yellow for high contrast and readability, angled to allow easy viewing from various positions during setup.
