Description
Product Overview
This is a premium Noga Articulating Magnetic Base (matching the profile of the highly popular NF-series mini bases), equipped with a highly sought-after Fine Adjust Swivel Head. It is the ultimate setup companion for precise dial test indicator (DTI) alignment in tight machining envelopes.
- Single-Point Articulation: Noga is famous for its central locking mechanism. By turning one single knob, all three joints (base, middle, and top) lock up simultaneously with absolute, rock-solid rigidity.
- Universal Swivel Clamp: The top clamp is designed for ultimate versatility, able to securely grip 6mm stems, 8mm stems, and standard dovetails. This means it will perfectly hold almost any indicator in your shop, including the Mitutoyo and Peacock DTIs you’ve just listed.
- Fine Adjust Head: Dialing in a 0.01mm or 0.002mm indicator by manually tapping the arm is incredibly frustrating. This base features a micro-fine adjustment screw directly at the indicator head, allowing you to smoothly and effortlessly sweep the needle precisely to zero.
- Compact Footprint: As a smaller-profile base, it is perfect for clamping onto lathe chucks, small milling machine tables, or sliding headstock (Swiss) machines where a full-sized mag base simply won’t fit.
Condition
Used (Good Condition / Fully Functional).
This Noga base is in used condition and shows typical signs of shop wear.
- Mechanical Integrity: The most important part of any used Noga is the locking cam. This unit has been checked, and the central locking knob tightens down securely, locking the arms rigidly without creeping or sagging under the weight of an indicator. The magnet switches on and off cleanly with strong holding force.
Brand Information
Noga Engineering (Israel) is universally recognized by machinists as the absolute gold standard for magnetic bases and indicator holders. While their single-knob articulating design has been heavily cloned by budget brands, the holding power, buttery-smooth joints, and durability of a genuine Noga have never been matched.
