Description
Product Overview
This is a Mitutoyo 513-517 Pocket Type Dial Test Indicator, a highly sensitive lever-style gauge essential for alignment, truing, and centering operations on machine tools.
- Reversible Direction: It features a clutch mechanism that allows for reversible measuring direction, ensuring the pointer always moves intuitively no matter which way the probe is deflected.
- High Sensitivity: Equipped with jeweled bearings, this indicator provides incredibly smooth, low-friction movement and high sensitivity to capture microscopic deviations without sticking.
- Standard Range: It offers a highly practical 0.8mm total measuring range with crisp 0.01mm graduations and a 0-40-0 dial reading.
- Carbide Tip: The standard stylus features a highly wear-resistant carbide contact point to maintain accuracy over hundreds of sweeps.
Condition
Used (Bare Tool / No Accessories).
This dial test indicator is in used condition and is fully functional.
- Important Note on Inclusions: This listing is for the indicator only. It does not come with a storage case, mounting stems (dovetails), holding bars, or a swivel clamp. Because it is a bare unit, it is priced accordingly. It makes an excellent, budget-friendly replacement body if you already have a broken indicator and just want to swap your existing mounting hardware over.
