Description
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 513-405-10E is a lever-type dial test indicator built to the exacting standards that have made Mitutoyo the benchmark name in toolroom metrology. With a 2µm graduation and a compact dovetail-mount body, this indicator is engineered for the kind of close-tolerance work where a 5µm indicator simply won’t cut it — think surface grinder setup, precision boring, or holding a four-jaw to within a tenth. Fresh from the factory with its calibration certificate intact, this is a ready-to-use instrument that goes straight onto the bench with full traceability.
- 2µm (0.002mm) graduation over a 0.2mm measuring range — The fine graduation isn’t just a spec-sheet number. When you’re sweeping a ground bore or tramming a precision vice, each needle division represents two microns of deviation. That resolution lets you split the difference between graduations with confidence, delivering the kind of discrimination you need when tolerances are tight and scrap is expensive.
- JIS B7533 / ISO 9493 / ASME B89.1.10M compliant accuracy — The included calibration certificate documents measured errors against the permissible limits under all three major international standards. For work going into aerospace, defence, or any regulated environment, that traceability back through NMIJ/AIST via JCSS to NIST and PTB is not optional — it’s the difference between a piece of paper you can hand to a customer and an educated guess.
- Dovetail body with adjustable contact point — The universal dovetail mounting is compatible with the full range of Mitutoyo indicator holders, magnetic bases, and surface gauge posts. The articulating contact arm allows the stylus angle to be set without disturbing the mount, which matters when you’re reaching into a pocket or sweeping a bore from a fixed arm position.
- Yellow dial face with ruby contact point — The high-contrast yellow dial with black graduations is easy to read under typical workshop lighting without squinting. The ruby contact tip resists wear on hardened surfaces far better than carbide or steel alternatives, keeping your contact geometry consistent over thousands of measurement cycles.
- Ideal for precision surface grinder work-holding setup, four-jaw chuck centring, boring bar runout checks, tramming mill heads and vices, CMM fixturing verification, and incoming inspection of ground or turned components.
Condition
New (Factory Sealed)
This indicator is new and factory sealed — it has not been used, mounted, or touched by anyone between Mitutoyo’s production line and this listing. The instrument arrives with its original Mitutoyo plastic case, full accessory complement, documentation, and — critically — the original calibration certificate issued at 20°C standard temperature with a certificate number (4505466959) and QC manager sign-off. The certificate charts measured errors for upward and downward travel across the full measuring range, confirming the unit passed all JIS, ISO/DIN, and ASME repeatability requirements. There is nothing to disclose in terms of wear, surface marks, or mechanical issues — the tool is exactly as Mitutoyo shipped it. For the highest-confidence work, we still recommend zeroing against a known reference after any storage period or temperature change, as is standard practice with any precision instrument regardless of its newness.
Included:
- 1 x Mitutoyo Dial Test Indicator, Model 513-405-10E, 0.002mm graduation, 0.2mm range
- Original Mitutoyo plastic carry case
- Calibration certificate (Certificate No. 4505466959)
- Original Mitutoyo accessories (contact points / spanner as supplied)
- Original documentation / instruction sheet
Not included: Magnetic base, indicator holder, or surface gauge post (sold separately).
Brand Information
Mitutoyo Corporation, founded in Japan in 1934, is the world’s largest manufacturer of precision measuring instruments and the brand against which all other metrology tooling is benchmarked — occupying the same tier as Tesa, Mahr, and Starrett at the top of the global market. Their instruments are produced under rigorous JIS and ISO quality systems at facilities in Japan, with calibration traceability maintained through NMIJ/AIST and JCSS, equivalent to NIST and PTB — which is why Mitutoyo is specified by name in aerospace, automotive, and defence supply chains worldwide. In Australian toolrooms, a Mitutoyo indicator on the bench is a signal that the operator takes their measurement seriously.
