Economy Electronic Plunger-Style Variance Indicators with Magnetic-Base Holder


A magnetic base provides a solid mount on metal surfaces. It has a V-grooved bottom for mounting on flat and curved surfaces and a magnetic release switch for easy setups. Use the fine-adjustment knob for precise positioning of the holder’s arm.
The indicator has a spring-loaded plunger that retracts and extends to measure objects. It has zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off. A zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point, and a go/no-go operation indicates when measurements fall outside your set tolerance.
