M208.004.6 Dial test indicator — horizontal probe, 0.01 mm resolution

A M208.004.6 precision dial test indicator designed for horizontal contact measurement tasks such as fixture alignment, small-part inspection and machine setup.

• Horizontal probe for confined spaces
• 0.01 mm graduation for fine readings
• 40 mm dial for quick visual checks
• Dovetail holders for Ø6 and Ø8 mm shafts

Precise readings where space is limited

The instrument offers a 0.01 mm graduation across a compact measuring span of 0–0.8 mm, making it suitable for fine adjustment and inspection work. The clear 40 mm dial provides an at-a-glance indication of deviations, while the analog readout and classic 0-50-0 scale ensure intuitive interpretation for experienced users. These characteristics support fast, reproducible checks on small assemblies and are particularly useful where digital interfaces are unnecessary or prone to interference.

Robust mechanics for daily workshop use

Built for routine use, the indicator features a horizontal probe with a 32 mm reach and a shock-protected mechanism that resists damage from incidental impacts. The device also includes automatic reversal of measuring direction, which simplifies measurements across differing contact orientations and reduces operator steps. Supplied with dovetail guides for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm clamping shanks, the instrument integrates easily into common holders and fixtures used on inspection benches and test stands, improving process reliability.

Practical integration and inspection benefits

As a compact dial indicator, this instrument excels in alignment, runout and small-feature measurement where visual speed and mechanical resilience matter most. The factory standard (Werksnorm) construction prioritises dependable performance in production and maintenance environments. With its analogue, mechanical principle, the tool complements digital systems by providing an independent check and a tactile feedback that aids rapid decision-making during setup or quality control.
