20 mm Probe Tip R0.3, Thread M2.5 For Dial Test Indicator - Metav IndustryLine

High-precision contact with a R 0.3 mm tip and a standard M2.5 thread delivers consistent reference points for fine inspections; the 20 mm overall length provides reach without sacrificing stability. Order the measuring insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

Measuring insert for dial indicator "Point" — R 0.3 mm, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

Measuring insert for dial indicator "Point" is a purpose-built probe tip that provides precise contact on small radii and narrow features for use with dial indicators that accept an M2.5 connection.

• Precision tip R0.3 mm for fine contact
• M2.5 thread for standard dial indicators
• 20 mm overall length for reach and clearance
• 0.6 mm diameter shank for compact stability

Precise contact that protects the workpiece and improves repeatability

The finely shaped tip with a R 0.3 mm radius concentrates contact on a very small area, which reduces measurement ambiguity on curved or confined features. A smaller contact radius lowers the risk of masking fine detail and helps establish a stable datum point during successive readings. As an accessory for metrology work, the insert is designed to complement the measuring behaviour of a quality dial indicator, ensuring that the measured value reflects the part geometry rather than tip deformation or excess contact area. The measured geometry therefore becomes more repeatable and comparable across inspections.

Standardised fitment and practical reach for everyday inspection tasks

Threaded to industry convention, the insert uses an M2.5 thread so it fits directly into dial indicators with that connection without adapters. The 20 mm overall length gives adequate reach into bores and recesses while keeping the probe sufficiently stiff for tactile contact measurements. The compact 0.6 mm shank helps with access to narrow features and reduces the likelihood of interference with surrounding geometry. Installation is straightforward: the probe is simply screwed into the instrument’s connection and secured for routine checks, producing a reliable mechanical reference with minimal handling time.

Robust shop-floor behaviour and suitable applications

Although simple in form, this measuring tip is intended for repeated use in inspection, tool set-up and quality-control tasks where small contact points are required. The light construction keeps the accessory unobtrusive on the instrument and limits added inertia during manual gauging operations. Typical applications include measuring small radii, contact probing on turned or milled features, and comparative checks during assembly. Backed by the Metav IndustryLine range, the insert aligns with a practical philosophy of making precision attainable and dependable for workshops and service providers.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with standard dial indicators?
Yes. The measuring insert is designed for dial indicators with an M2.5 connection thread and fits directly into instruments that accept that standard.

What kinds of measurements is the tip intended for?
The probe is suited to fine contact work such as measuring small radii, narrow features and confined areas where a small contact point improves repeatability and reduces measurement interference.

How is the insert mounted to the indicator?
The insert is screwed into the indicator’s M2.5 connection; the threaded fit secures the tip for routine tactile measurements and simple inspection tasks.

Does the small tip radius improve repeatability?
Yes. The R 0.3 mm radius concentrates contact and helps establish a consistent datum, which supports repeatable comparative readings in serial checks.

Can this insert be used on all indicator types?
The insert will work with indicators that have an M2.5 connection; compatibility with other connection standards requires an appropriate adapter or a differently specified insert.
