FAQs

What is the holding power of the magnetic base?

The magnetic base has a holding power of 176 lbs. when properly engaged on a clean, flat ferrous surface.

What types of dial indicators can this base hold?

It can hold indicators with 3/8", 6mm, and 8mm shanks, as well as those with dovetail mounts.

How do I adjust the indicator's position finely?

Once the base is secured and the central locking mechanism is engaged, use the dedicated fine adjustment dial on the arm for precise positioning.

Can the magnetic base be turned off?

Yes, the base features an on/off switch to easily engage or disengage the magnetic force for positioning and removal.

What are the dimensions of the arms?

The bottom arm length is approximately 5.26 inches, and the top arm length is approximately 5.24 inches.

What is the total weight of the magnetic base?

The total weight of the unit is 4.07 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic base does not hold firmly.

Ensure the contact surfaces (base and workpiece) are clean, flat, and free of oil or chips. Verify the on/off switch is fully engaged and the workpiece is made of a suitable ferrous material.

Indicator is difficult to position precisely.

Check that the central locking mechanism is slightly loosened before fine adjustment. Ensure the fine adjustment dial is functioning smoothly; if not, check for obstructions.

Clamp does not fit the indicator shank.

Confirm the indicator shank diameter or type matches one of the supported sizes (3/8", 6mm, 8mm, or dovetail). You may need an adapter for non-standard shanks.
