Dial Indicators & Magnetic Stands

Precision Measurement You Can Trust

At Beyond Tools, we stock a professional range of Dial Indicators and Magnetic Stands designed for machinists, metalworkers, engineers, toolmakers, and precision trades. Whether you're setting up a milling machine, aligning a lathe, checking runout, or measuring minute tolerances, these tools deliver accurate, repeatable results.

When accuracy matters, a quality dial indicator and stable magnetic base are essential workshop tools.

What is a Dial Indicator?

A dial indicator (also known as a dial gauge) is a precision measuring instrument used to measure small linear distances and deviations. They are commonly used for:

• Checking runout on shafts and spindles

• Measuring flatness and parallelism

• Aligning machinery components

• Inspecting tolerances in machining applications

• Setting up workpieces on milling machines and lathes

Available in metric and imperial options, dial indicators provide clear, easy-to-read measurements down to microns.

Magnetic Stands – Stability & Control

A magnetic stand (mag base) securely holds your dial indicator in position during measurement. With powerful switchable magnets and fully adjustable arms, magnetic bases allow you to:

• Position your indicator precisely

• Lock firmly to machine tables or steel surfaces

• Achieve stable, vibration-resistant readings

• Adjust height and angle with ease

Articulating arms, fine adjustment knobs, and heavy-duty magnetic bases ensure professional results every time.
