Plunger-type indicators cannot reach inside bores, narrow slots or recessed faces, and they are awkward for machine alignment. The Mitutoyo 513-424-10A is a lever-type dial test indicator with 0.01 mm graduation and a 0.5 mm measuring range.
The no-clutch design reverses measuring direction automatically, jeweled bearings provide high sensitivity and quick response, and the contact point is carbide-tipped. It is genuine Mitutoyo, supplied through an authorised distributor.
Typical uses include centring work and aligning fixtures on machine tools, runout and flatness checks, and measuring in bores, slots and recessed areas. Dial test indicators are commonly used for centring work in a lathe or mill, aligning vices and fixtures, checking runout, and measuring narrow or recessed areas and inside and outside diameters that dial indicators cannot easily access. The Plus Set adds extra accessories to the basic indicator, stem and clamp ring.
For the best accuracy, keep the stylus as close to parallel with the measured surface as possible. When the stylus is at an angle, the reading can be larger than the true movement due to cosine error, so keeping the stylus aligned helps minimise measurement error.
Before ordering, confirm the graduation and range you need, the stem diameter for your holder (4 / 8 mm), and which set suits your work. Our team can help you compare the Basic, Plus and Full sets. Our team can also arrange calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dial test indicator used for?
It is used for alignment, centring, runout checks and measuring narrow or recessed areas that plunger indicators cannot easily reach.
What does the Plus Set include?
The Plus Set adds extra accessories to the basic indicator, stem and clamp ring.
What is cosine error?
If the stylus is not parallel to the measured surface, the indicator can over-read the true movement. Keeping the stylus properly aligned helps minimise this error.
Should I choose the 513-424-10A or the 513-404-10A?
The 513-404-10A offers a 0.8 mm measuring range and Plus Set configuration, while the 513-424-10A offers a 0.5 mm range. Match the measuring range, graduation and accessories to your application. Our team can help you compare the requirements.
