M208.004 Precision Dial Test Indicator — 0.8 mm range, 0.01 mm resolution (Metav IndustryLine)

The M208.004 is a horizontal dial test indicator designed for fine displacement measurement in machine shops and toolrooms, offering a clear analogue readout and compact mounting options

• Horizontal measuring tip for confined spaces
• 0.01 mm graduation for clear readings
• Shock-protected design for workshop use
• Includes dovetail guides Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm

High‑precision readings in a compact package

The fine probe delivers a 0.8 mm measuring range with a 0.01 mm reading step on a concise 32 mm dial, making it suitable for short‑range verification and fine adjustment tasks. The analogue dial with 0‑40‑0 graduation is easy to interpret at a glance and supports quick pass/fail checks during set‑up. Conformance to DIN 2270 specifies manufacturing and performance expectations, so results are consistent when compared across similar mechanical indicators. This compact layout reduces probe overhang, limiting bending and improving repeatability for small deflections.

Robust construction and dependable workshop behaviour

Built for everyday use, the instrument is shock‑protected and features automatic reversal of measuring direction, which reduces operator handling errors when traversing surfaces. These mechanical safeguards increase uptime and lower the risk of damage during rougher working conditions. The horizontal probe orientation suits measurements in tight pockets or against shoulders, while the modest mass supports stable clamping and minimal inertia when used on magnetic stands or holder posts.

Flexible mounting and ready‑to‑use accessories

The indicator is supplied with dovetail guides for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm shanks, enabling rapid integration into existing fixtures and holders without custom adapters. The 32 mm bezel provides a balance between compactness and legibility, and the instrument’s lightweight construction simplifies positioning during repetitive checks. This combination of features supports faster set‑up, consistent comparisons and efficient quality control workflows in production and maintenance environments.
