Magnetic Base - Fowler High Precision

The Fowler High Precision 72-585-010 Magnetic Base is engineered to provide a robust and stable platform for critical precision measurement tasks in professional automotive, machining, and industrial environments. This professional-grade tool delivers 85 lbs of dependable holding force and integrates a fine adjustment mechanism, ensuring stable setups and accurate repositioning on ferrous surfaces for precise indicator readings during alignment and inspection work.

Key Features

• 85 lb Magnetic Pull: Delivers strong and reliable holding power on ferromagnetic surfaces, such as machine tables, engine blocks, and vehicle frames, minimizing unwanted movement and indicator drift during critical measurements.
• On/Off Magnetic Switch: A mechanical lever enables quick engagement and release of the powerful magnet, facilitating efficient setups while helping to protect ground and polished surfaces from marring.
• Integrated Fine Adjustment: The built-in fine adjustment mechanism allows for precise zeroing of test and dial indicators, crucial for achieving accurate runout, alignment, and parallelism checks in demanding applications.
• V-Grooved Base Design: The versatile V-base secures firmly on both flat and curved ferrous components, including shafts, spindles, arbors, brake rotors, and automotive hubs, enhancing adaptability across diverse professional applications.
• Broad Indicator Compatibility: Designed to accept indicators with a 1/4" post and all AGD dial indicators, ensuring seamless integration with standard professional shop metrology and inspection equipment.

Applications

This magnetic base is an essential tool for professional engine builders, driveline specialists, brake service technicians, and general machine shops. Common applications include verifying brake rotor and hub runout, inspecting flywheels and flexplates, conducting transmission and driveshaft alignment checks, and performing machine tool alignment on mills and lathes. It is also well-suited for general inspection and fixture work requiring a stable, temporary magnetic stand for precise measurement.
