Test Indicators Overview

Get a complete look at the dial test indicator lineup from Haas in this video. Dial test indicators are offered in various ranges for multiple applications. Watch as John takes you through the fundamentals of test indicators.

Test Indicators Details

Dial Test Indicators are a valuable piece of measuring equipment in any shop. These indicators are meant for precise comparisons on surfaces, machines, and part tolerance, or to check the runout on cutting tools. Haas dial test indicators have a magnitude of applications and are especially helpful during setup to ensure that a vise is square or to indicate other parts.

  • 1mm, 2mm, 3mm tip diameters offered
  • Available with ruby tips
  • Long stylus options for tight and hard-to-reach areas
  • Different dial position options for different viewing angles
  • Large dial options available
  • 2x range options for extended travel
  • Metric versions manufactured to DIN2270 standard

Getting Accurate Test Indicator Readings

In this video John Nelson takes a close look at properly setting up your test indicator to take the most precise readings possible. This is an excerpt from our long form "Indicator How-to" video where John covers taking measurements with travel and test indicators in a variety of setup scenarios.

Travel & Test Indicator Differences

Compare the measuring range and needle movement of travel indicators, standard test indicators, and twice-range test indicators.

Properly Mounting a Travel Indicator

Learn to choose stem or lug-back mounting, check the contact tip, and align a travel indicator with the measurement axis to avoid cosine error.

Set a Travel Indicator to Measure a Dimension

Learn to set a travel indicator with gauge blocks, check repeatability, position tolerance markers, and measure a part against nominal dimensions.
