Product Information

Full details

The Moore & Wright MW475-01 Magnetic Indicator Stand is an essential precision tool for machinists and engineers who require stable, reliable support for dial or digital indicators during inspection and layout tasks. Its primary strength lies in its powerful 80kg magnetic base, which allows for secure placement on ferrous surfaces for consistent, repeatable measurements. While the stand offers exceptional versatility and fine adjustment capabilities, it is strictly limited to magnetic surfaces, meaning it will not function on non-ferrous materials like aluminum or wood without an adapter.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this stand work with digital indicators?

Yes, it is compatible with digital, dial, and standard indicators.

How much weight can the magnet hold?

The magnetic base provides a holding force of 80kg or 175lbs on appropriate ferrous surfaces.

Can I use this on a non-metal table?

No, the stand relies on a magnetic field to adhere to the surface, so it must be placed on ferrous metal.

Is the fine adjustment located on the base or the head?

The fine adjustment is typically located on the indicator mount to allow for precise micro-adjustments.

What should I do if the magnet doesn't turn off?

Check for metal shavings obstructing the internal cam mechanism; gently tapping the side of the housing can sometimes help clear minor blockages.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic base does not hold firmly

Check the underside of the base for metal chips or debris and ensure the surface is clean, flat, and ferrous.

Indicator arm drifts or slips

Verify that all locking joints are fully tightened and ensure the threads are free of oil or debris.

Fine adjustment is stiff or unresponsive

Clean the adjustment screw area and apply a small drop of light machine oil to the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength magnetic base ensures zero movement during measurement
  • On/Off switch allows for precise placement before locking the base down
  • Fine adjustment knob allows for granular control over indicator positioning
  • Broad compatibility with different indicator types and mounting styles

Cons

  • Requires a clean, flat ferrous metal surface to achieve full holding strength
  • Not compatible with non-magnetic materials like plastic or aluminum
  • Must be kept away from sensitive electronic equipment due to the strong magnet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the MW475-01, place the base on a clean, debris-free metal surface. Turn the switch to the ON position to engage the magnet. To mount your indicator, attach it to the universal bracket, ensuring the stem is tightened securely.

Maintenance is straightforward: keep the base surface clean of metal chips or dust, as these particles can prevent a full seal and reduce holding force. Regularly check that the locking nuts on the arms are free of grit to ensure smooth adjustments. Keep the unit dry to prevent surface oxidation, and store it away from high heat or strong electromagnetic interference.
