Precision Dial Test Indicator

The Mitutoyo 513-403-10E is a horizontal dial test indicator designed for precise mechanical measurement tasks. It provides a measuring range of 0 in to 0.008 in with fine graduations of 0.0001 in. This tool suits machinists and inspectors who require accurate runout or alignment checks.

Measurement Range and Resolution

The single specification that defines suitability is the 0.008 in total range combined with 0.0001 in graduations. This resolution allows detection of minute deviations during setup or inspection. Buyers needing a larger travel distance or coarser readability should select a different model.

Mechanical Operation Characteristics

The indicator operates mechanically without external power, so there is no electrical draw, fan noise, or thermal output to consider. The yellow dial with 0-4-0 reading and 40 mm diameter offers clear visual feedback in normal workshop lighting. A contact point diameter of 0.078 in is fitted as standard.

Questions about this item

What does the 0.008 in range mean when I am measuring run-out on a shaft?

The indicator shows total travel of eight thousandths of an inch, so any deviation larger than that will run the needle past the scale.

How does the 0.0001 in graduation limit what I can read on the yellow 40 mm dial?

Each division represents one ten-thousandth of an inch, letting you estimate to that resolution, but the mechanical dial cannot display finer increments.

Will the 0.078 in contact point and dovetail mount fit my existing magnetic base?

The carbide ball is 0.078 inch in diameter and the body accepts standard dovetail clamps, so it mounts on most magnetic bases and height gauges.
