## Description

The Starrett 196 series universal dial indicator has a 0 to 0.2" measuring range with 0.001" graduations for precise measurement of the rise or drop in a work piece. It has a 0 to 100 counter with one revolution equivalent to 0.1" and the white-face dial has a scratch-resistant crystal face for ease of reading. The plunger on the back of the dial comes with 1/2", 5/16" and 1/8" diameter contact points. The dial indicator has a 1/4" diameter stainless-steel shank for mounting. Some dial indicator sets include an adapter, a standard letter of certification and clamp, tool post holder, snug and hole attachments. The dial indicator is suitable for applications such as quality control for machined parts. Dial indicators are also called dial gauges, probe and electronic indicators. These precision instruments measure small linear distances and object sizes. The dial magnifies the measurement so that it can be easily read by the human eye. Frequently used in manufacturing, laboratories and other industrial or mechanical fields, dial indicators are used anywhere a small measurement must be found and recorded or transferred, such as checking the variation in tolerance of a workpiece. Standard dial indicators measure the displacement along the axis of the indicator. Dial test indicators are very similar to dial indicators, except that the axis of measurement is perpendicular to the axis of the indicator. Dial and dial test indicators can be analogue with a mechanical dial or electronic with a digital display. Some electronic models transfer the data electronically to a computer for recording and potential manipulation. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.

I've never had an issue with Starrett. That said I think this unit snuck by quality control. The pivot arm attachment does not hold the indicator tight enough. I belive the issue is the small detent is not machines deep enough to allow the thumb screw to make contact until it reaches the indicator. This is probably a one off so I'll exchange this for another one and review again later.
