The Starrett 196 Universal Back Plunger Dial Indicator features graduations to .001" and 0.02mm that handle by far the majority of jobs. Shank diameter is 1/4" (6.3mm).

Then the contact should be brought against the work with enough pressure to give the hand one full turn. Set the hand at zero by rotating the dial with the knurled bezel. This provides one full rotation of the hand both to the right and left of zero, showing a rise or drop in the work and the amount of that variation. Its dial reading is 0-50-0 with 3 contact points, an adapter, and 4 attachments in a case. 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. It is 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. These dial test indicators are like dial indicators, except that the measurement axis is perpendicular to the axis of the indicator. These dial and dial test indicators can be analog 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, testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.
