The VEVOR Dial Test Indicator (IG520-185) is an essential precision tool designed for machinists, quality control inspectors, and toolmakers who require high accuracy in milling, lathing, and inspection tasks. It provides a reliable 0.01 mm measurement resolution, ensuring exact alignment and surface testing, though its relatively limited measurement range of 0.76 mm necessitates careful initial positioning for optimal performance.

The total measuring range is 0 to 0.76 mm (0 to 0.03 inch).
No, the magnetic base requires a ferrous metal surface to function correctly.
The dial can be rotated to align the zero mark with the needle position during initial setup.
The dial diameter is 32 mm (1.26 inches).
Yes, the contact point is a standard threading that can be removed or replaced if worn.
Yes, the product includes both the dial test indicator and the adjustable magnetic base.
Ensure the probe tip is not obstructed and the indicator is securely mounted without vibration.
Clean both the bottom of the magnetic base and the workpiece surface of metal shavings or oil.
Check that the mounting arm is fully locked and all joints are tightened to eliminate mechanical play.
To set up the indicator, first secure the magnetic base to a stable, clean ferrous surface. Activate the magnet using the integrated switch. Position the arm so the probe tip lightly touches the surface to be measured; the needle should move slightly to indicate pre-load. Use the micro-adjustment knob for final zeroing. Compatibility extends to most standard metal shop machinery including lathes, mills, and surface plates. For care, keep the instrument in its storage case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation. Periodically clean the contact point with a dry, lint-free cloth and avoid using excessive force or dropping the unit, as internal mechanical components are sensitive to impact.
