User questions & answers

Question:	Is a spark plug hole adapter availible
Answer:	I would not as the flutes in the drill bit would catch on the point of the dial indicator and could damage the dial indicator.
Question:	can this be used to measure free play on my harley wheel
Answer:	Not sure what you want to use this for. It will work for Brake rotor run-out, differential backlash and many other things like that. Doesn’t matter what type of vehicle or piece of equipment you’re using it on. With all due respect it sounds to me like you’re trying to do a job that you do not have the experience to do. I think you should go to your local mechanic.
Question:	Can this be used to measure the exact wobbling of a drill bit
Answer:	The cover rotates and allows you zero the gauge
Question:	Will this work on a Chevrolet 3500 express box truck with a 10.5 4.10 Gear ratio and does this product come with directions how to use it
Answer:	Don't know did not come with mind.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the thread & thread pitch of the end that goes into the mag base
Answer:	I just checked it out, 5 min showing a number on readout then it turned itself off, I pressed on button and it reset to a new zero. If possible, nudge it slightly to make numbers bounce on the DRO after a few minutes to keep it from turning off. Sorry. Auto shutoff is a PITA. Would be neat if they had a way to turn it off.
Question:	What is the stem diameter of the gauge? I need to ensure the gauge will fit in our current fixtures without modification
Answer:	The stem is 7/8" long and the shaft movement is 9/16"
Question:	Does reading return to zero after auto shut off or is the value held when gauge is turn back on
Answer:	NO not at this time
Question:	How long is the stem? I am looking of 1" long stem
Answer:	It can be use to measure any play, as long it's mounted stationary

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi. Can this combo be made with a metric indicador
Answer:	You place the tip (spindle, gauge head, contact point) of the dial indicator on the work piece. Adjust the the dial indicator so the needle spins a few times as the tip is depressed more. You want room for the measurement to move either way (in or out) . Next loosen the bezel clamp hand screw that prevents the bezel (the blue colored part of the indicator that also holds the clear dial cover) from moving. Gently turn the bezel until the 0 (zero) on the dial is near dial needle. Then use the adjustment knob on the magnetic base arm for fine adjustment of the dial indicator. tighten the bezel clamp to keep the bezel from moving.
Question:	Can this be used to measure the exact wobbling ( run out )of a drill bit
Answer:	No , it does come in a well protected box.
Question:	I just bought this item and I am checking to see how to zero out the unit
Answer:	Yes, as long as you get a tip with a 4-48 thread
Question:	Does it come with a protective storage case
Answer:	It will most likely be shock proof if you get one that is jeweled if you go to Mitutoyo's website you can look up the specifications in their catalog and it will tell you the specific number for that indicator

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the stem (mounting) diameter
Answer:	So it looks like somebody already answered this question, the options are for visibility the white face version stands out a bit more and so the price is more due to demand. NOT anything to do with racism or affirmative action.
Question:	Does this product come with a calibration certificate
Answer:	Encased in a foam "box" inside of a cardboard box. It doesn't include a plastic case. I kept the bottom of the foam box to set it in.
Question:	Why is the "black face" option so much cheaper than the "white face" option? Is this racism or affirmative action
Answer:	This indicator(asin:B07F6BRWDZ) has no certificate. But I have another indicator(asin: B077QB6DGQ) with a certificate, Features: —Accuracy：+/- 0.0005" . —A Case.Metal Lug Back + Flat back. —No Lock Screw. —Asin: B077QB6DGQ . It is worth $56.45 (discount price $39.95 now ). This gauge is so excellent, you will appreciate it. Welcome to contact me now! Welcome to order it! Good luck to you!
Question:	How is this packaged
Answer:	Yes, you can change the contact point, As long as the thread is 4-48. Another warning: Must not drive the thin rod when disassembly. It is best to hold the clamp to fix the movable thin rod, and another clamp gently loosen the screw of the contact point. Use cloth as a pad during clamp to avoid damage to parts. If you accidentally break the indicator, please contact us--the seller, you can get a new one free.
