Horizontal Dial Test Indicator

The Starrett 3808 is a mechanical dial test indicator designed for precision measurement in machining and inspection tasks. It offers a metric range of 0 mm to 0.2 mm with clear 0.002 mm graduations on a yellow dial face.

Metric Graduation and Range

This model replaces indicators that use coarser graduations or inch-based scales when finer metric resolution is required. The jump is worth it when work demands 0.002 mm readability over a 0.2 mm total travel for comparative checks.

Precision Machining and Inspection

It suits toolmakers and quality technicians who need a compact horizontal indicator with a 1.25 in dial and dovetail mount for fixture attachment. Buyers needing longer travel or digital output should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What dovetail mount attachments come with the 3808 indicator?

The set includes dovetail mount attachments for securing the indicator to a magnetic base or height gauge.

How do you correctly orient the horizontal dial when mounting the 3808?

Mount the indicator so the 1.25 in yellow dial faces the operator and the contact point moves perpendicular to the workpiece surface.

When should the 0.002 mm graduation contact point be replaced?

Replace the 4 mm contact point when the tip shows visible wear, deformation, or no longer returns to zero consistently.
