13mm Radius 0.3mm Probe Tip For Dial Test Indicator M2.5 Thread - Metav IndustryLine

Benefit from the combination of a fine R0.3 contact geometry, compact 13 mm reach and an industry-standard M2.5 thread for consistent dial gauge readings — order the measuring insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

Measuring insert for dial gauge "Point" — R0.3 tip, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

A measuring insert designed as a precision contact point for dial gauges, offering a small-radius tip and compact length for confined measurement tasks.

• Precision tip R0.3 for fine contact
• M2.5 threaded connection for dial gauges
• Compact 13 mm length for tight spaces
• Compatible with standard gauge fittings

High-precision contact for repeatable readings

The finely ground R0.3 tip delivers a very small contact radius that reduces measurement uncertainty when probing fine edges and small bores. With a tip diameter of 0.6 mm and a total length of 13 mm, the probe insert is tailored for applications where access is limited and repeatability is essential. The small geometry minimises contact area and surface distortion, so operators achieve consistent deflection on the indicator without introducing appreciable loading errors. This results in reliable comparative measurements in toolmaking and precision inspection.

Fit and retrofit with common workshop instruments

Threaded with the industry-standard M2.5 connection, the insert is compatible with dial gauges featuring an M2.5 mount, enabling fast replacement or upgrade of existing probes. The compact 13 mm shank keeps the centre of mass close to the instrument, improving handling and preventing excessive leverage that can affect readings. The simple screw-in design ensures a secure mechanical and metrological link to the gauge, so instruments maintain indicated accuracy after routine tip changes.

Practical benefits for daily metrology work

Lightweight and compact, the insert minimises inertia at the probe point and aids manoeuvrability when measuring small features or stepped components. The concise form factor supports inside- and outside-measuring routines where clearance is restricted and where a sharper contact improves positional definition on thin edges. Supplied as a single-purpose probe, it integrates into existing inspection routines without altering measuring procedures, reducing downtime and simplifying inventory management for workshop metrology accessories.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with all dial gauges?
The insert fits dial gauges that have an M2.5 connection; it is intended as a direct replacement or upgrade for instruments with that thread size.

What measurement advantages does the R0.3 tip offer?
A R0.3 tip concentrates contact on a smaller area, improving repeatability when measuring fine edges, small bores or stepped features.

How long is the measuring insert and why does that matter?
The total length is 13 mm, which provides a short working reach ideal for measurements in confined spaces while keeping leverage and deflection low.

Can the tip be used for internal and external measurements?
Yes — the compact point geometry is suitable for both internal and external contact probing where a fine contact is required.

Is the product supplied ready to use or does it require preparation?
The insert is supplied ready for installation into gauges with an M2.5 thread; no additional preparation is required beyond careful fitting to the instrument.
