Mag Base and Dial Indicator - Fowler High Precision

The Fowler High Precision 72-522-101 Mag Base and Dial Indicator set delivers a stable and repeatable solution for critical measurements in professional automotive and industrial settings. This precision kit allows technicians to accurately assess runout, end play, and movement, ensuring reliable performance across a wide array of applications. Designed for daily professional use, it provides solid locking and consistent zeroing capabilities for consistent results.

Key Features

• Precision Dial Indicator: Offers a 0–1" measurement range with 0.001" graduations and a 0–100 continuous reading face. A revolution counter and adjustable tolerance markers facilitate efficient pass/fail assessments, streamlining diagnostic processes.
• Robust Magnetic Base: Features a 50 lb magnetic pull base with an On/Off switch, ensuring rigid mounting. Its V-base design allows secure placement on flat surfaces, round stock, frames, and machine ways, enhancing versatility.
• Versatile Articulated Arm: Equipped with a fine adjustment mechanism, the articulated arm holds rigidly, even in confined spaces, enabling precise contact point placement on components such as rotors, hubs, and shafts.
• Universal Compatibility: The indicator mounting is designed to accept other test indicators with a 1/4" post, allowing for diverse measurement setups with a single, reliable magnetic base.
• Durable Construction: An AGD-style dial with a satin chrome finish and a rotating, lockable bezel supports quick zeroing in any position, built to withstand the demands of professional shop environments.
