Description
Product Overview
When it comes to articulating indicator bases, every machinist on the planet agrees on one thing: there is Noga, and then there is everyone else. The Noga MG71003 Long Arm Magnetic Base is the absolute industry standard for rigid, reliable dial indicator setups on the milling machine, lathe, or surface plate.
- Single-Knob Articulation: The genius of the Noga system is its central locking mechanism. By tightening just one ergonomic knob, you simultaneously lock the bottom, middle, and top articulating joints into absolute, immovable rigidity.
- Long Arm Reach: The MG series features an extended arm reach, allowing you to sweep large-diameter bores, indicate massive flywheels, or reach deep into awkward CNC machine envelopes where standard mag bases simply fall short.
- Universal Fine Adjust Head: Dialing in an indicator by tapping the arm is a nightmare. This base features a micro-fine adjustment mechanism right at the swivel head, allowing you to zero your needle with absolute precision. The universal head seamlessly accepts 6mm stems, 8mm stems, and dovetail mounts, making it compatible with almost any dial indicator or dial test indicator (DTI) on the market.
- Heavy-Duty Magnet: Features a powerful, switchable permanent magnet base with a precision-ground V-groove, ensuring a massive holding force on flat tables or round columns.
Condition
Used (Good Condition / Fully Functional).
This Noga mag base has seen active shop duty and shows typical cosmetic signs of use, such as minor scratches or wear on the finish. However, structurally and mechanically, it remains a powerhouse.
- Mechanical Integrity: The central locking mechanism remains exceptional—when you tighten the knob, the arms lock up dead-solid without sagging. The fine adjustment screw turns smoothly, and the switchable magnet engages with a firm, uncompromising hold. It is completely ready to go to work.
