Starrett 711GPSZ Last Word Dial Test Indicator with Attachments, White Dial, 0-15-0 Reading, 0-0.03" Range, 0.001" Graduation

The Starrett Series 711 Last Word dial test indicator has a balanced dial, a swivelling body, and inch measurements. The horizontal-face dial test indicator has a hard, chrome-plated, steel ratchet contact point for taking precise measurements in machining, layout, and inspection work. The carbide, ball-contact tip reaches into the work piece for accurate measurements of turned, milled, and ground parts, and for tool setting gauges, fixtures, and inspections. It has a balanced dial and a white face with half-yellow shading for accurate reading when used with a mirror or in a bore jig application. The positive reversing switch changes the reading direction. The indicator has a swivelling tubular body that can be mounted from the top or the body of the indicator using a body clamp, friction holder, or shank. The indicator has a jewelled lever action for smooth operation, and a replaceable contact point. This dial test indicator meets or exceeds accuracy and performance requirements of national and international standards, and is traceable to the United States National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST). The indicator includes a universal friction holder with a shank, and a storage box. Dial readings with three digits, such as 0-10-0, signify that the indicator has a balanced dial. Dial readings with two digits, such as 0-100, indicate that the dial has a continuous dial. Balanced dials are used to read the difference from a specific surface reference point. Continuous dials are used for direct readings and usually have a larger measurement range than balanced dials.
