Dial test indicator M208.004.3 — analogue indicator, 0–0.8 mm / 0.01 mm (Metav IndustryLine)

The Dial test indicator M208.004.3 is an analogue, vertically oriented test instrument designed for precise small-range measurements in workshop inspection and assembly environments.

• Analogue display with 0.01 mm graduation
• 0–0.8 mm measuring range
• Vertical probe, shock-protected design
• Includes dovetail mounts for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm shanks

Exceptional precision in a compact instrument

The indicator delivers 0.01 mm graduation across a 0–0.8 mm span, providing a reliable readout for fine tolerance checks and repeatability tasks. The compact dial and short probe travel reduce compliance and give a stable sensing point, which in practice means quicker decision-making during set-up and first-article inspections. The mechanical construction follows recognised metrology practice to ensure the instrument remains suitable for routine quality control where plausibility and rapid visual feedback are required.

Robust features for daily workshop use

Built to DIN 2270, this test instrument offers a shock-protected mechanism and an automatic reversal of measuring direction, which protects the movement during overtravel and prevents loss of datum when the probe changes direction. The 38 mm dial ensures clear visibility while keeping the overall footprint small. Supplied with dovetail guides for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm shanks, the unit integrates easily into existing holders and magnetic stands, reducing setup time and improving throughput on repetitive tasks.

Practical mounting, handling and maintenance

The finely balanced probe and fitted measuring insert guarantee consistent contact behaviour on small components. The analogue readout requires no batteries and is immediately ready for use, which benefits workshops that prioritise dependable, low-maintenance tools. Occasional cleaning of the contact point and cautious handling during fixturing will preserve accuracy and service life; replacement parts and spares can be sourced through Metav IndustryLine for continued operational reliability.
