Overview
Clamping to a machine or fixture through a strong magnetic base, this Fowler set uses two swivel clamps to reach almost any position. The dial indicator has an adjustable dial for easy zeroing, a revolution counter and a carbide ball contact point.
Fine adjustment and swivel clamps make positioning quick, and the case protects the set between jobs. The listing covers only a magnetic base, so mounting on non-magnetic surfaces is not addressed.
Who it's for
Suited to shop work such as checking runout and aligning parts where a magnetic mount is acceptable. Those working on non-magnetic surfaces or needing digital readout should choose another type.
Pros and cons
- Strong magnetic base
- Swivel clamps for positioning
- Adjustable dial for zeroing
- Hardened case included
- Magnetic mounting only
- Dial reading only, not digital
- Base pull strength not stated
Performance notes
The magnetic base holds the indicator in place while fine adjustment and the swivel clamps set the contact point against the work. The carbide ball contact point resists wear, and the adjustable dial allows quick zeroing before reading the graduations.
