Product Description
-------------------
The Starrett Series 711 Last Word dial test indicator has a
balanced dial, a swiveling body, and inch measurements. The
horizontal-face dial test indicator has a hard, chrome-plated,
steel ratchet contact point for taking precise measurements in
machining, layout, and inspection work. The carbide, ball-contact
tip reaches into the workpiece for accurate measurements of
turned, milled, and ground parts, and for tool setting gauges,
fixtures, and inspections. It has a balanced dial and a white
face with half-yellow shading for accurate reading when used with
a mirror or in a bore jig application. The positive reversing
switch changes the reading direction. The indicator has a
swiveling tubular body that can be ed from the top or the
body of the indicator using a body clamp, friction holder, or
shank. The indicator has a jeweled lever action for smooth
operation, and a replaceable contact point. This dial test
indicator meets or exceeds accuracy and performance requirements
of national and international standards, and is traceable to the
United States National Institutes of Standards and Technology
(NIST). The indicator includes a body clamp, three
interchangeable contact points (0.9mm, 1.6mm, and 3mm), a
universal friction holder with a shank, a universal shank with a
long and short arm, a double-jointed attachment, a height gage
attachment, a surface gage attachment, a coupling with a 3/16
inch (4.8mm) hole, and a storage box.
Dial readings with three digits, such as 0-10-0, signify that the
indicator has a balanced dial. Dial readings with two digits,
such as 0-100, indicate that the dial has a continuous dial.
Balanced dials are used to read the difference from a specific
surface reference point. Continuous dials are used for direct
readings and usually have a larger measurement range than
balanced dials.
Dial indicators are also called dial gauges, dial calipers, and
probe indicators. These precision measuring tools are used to
accurately measure small linear distances and object sizes. The
dial magnifies the measurement so that it can more easily be 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 analog, with a mechanical dial, or electronic,
with a digital display. Some electronic models transfer the data
electronically to a computer for and potential
manipulation.
The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools,
metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The
company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.
