Workshop dial test indicator for precise small-range measurements, ideal for alignment and inspection tasks. Smgda Dial Test Indicator Gauge brings a readable anti-glare yellow face and multiple clamp options to speed setups and reduce rework. Is the 0.01mm accuracy and 0–0.8mm range right for your workshop needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Measuring Accuracy: 0.01mm precision across a 0–0.8mm measuring range with 0–40–0 scale
- • Best for: Machinists, toolmakers and precision hobbyists needing repeatable small-range checks
- • Not ideal for: Measurements that exceed 0.8mm range or tasks requiring digital readouts
Lever-style dial indicator with a compact 0–0.8mm range and fine 0.01mm graduations. Aluminium alloy body, dovetail mounting and multiple clamp methods suit busy workshop use.
Accurate fine measurements – with 0.01mm precision
A lever dial mechanism converts small linear probe travel into dial rotation shown on a 0–40–0 scale, allowing readings in 0.01mm increments. The contact point has a 0.66 length and operates against a measured 0.5N measuring force.
Repeatable sub-millimetre readings help with alignment, bore checking and setup tasks where small tolerances matter.
Adaptable installation – thanks to three dovetail mounts and multiple clamps
Three dovetail mounting positions permit readings in horizontal or vertical orientations and the kit includes head, rear and front clamp options for versatile attachment. Two bushings, 6mm and 8mm, are supplied for standard stem fittings.
Flexible mounting cuts fiddly repositioning, making bench, machine and fixture setups quicker and more reliable.
Workshop-ready durability – with aluminium alloy body and chrome-plated finish
Main body is machined from aluminium alloy and finished with a smooth chrome plating to resist wear and corrosion. The dial face is yellow with an anti-glare finish to improve readability under bright lights.
Robust construction and a highly legible dial reduce the need for frequent replacements and keep measurement checks straightforward over time.
