Re: [atlas-craftsman IO] Mitutoyo Test Indicator Tips

Forgot a couple pics last night but you figured it out. 

I swing mine all the time. 

Check a diameter, flip it up or down to check the face. Tap it around to get the face true and back to the diameter.

Thanks everyone for the answers. I just went out and repositioned the tip back to vertical like yall suggested.

Just forcing it to the desired position didn't seem right. I was worried about breaking it and the directions don't say anything about how to change the tip angle.  

So thank you for the answers.

Few more minutes. 

As far as I know, they all swing.

I use a test indicator 98% of the time unless I have a big offset in a 4 jaw. 

If you're measuring, the angle of the point to the work is important, for the Interapid it's 8-10°.

If you just need true, zero is zero as long as you don't have the point near perpendicular!

Hi Jody, 

Used to have a Mitutoyo indicator a long time ago, don't remember the details but my oldest Interapid at work is pushing 40 years old.

The point swivels probably 200°, just went and tried my new one in the basement!

My dad had a Starrett Last Word with the "ratchet" but you could still swing it.

Should be no worries. 

Got some micrometer stop, DRO, indicator stuff to talk about but out of time today!

Later, Dave

Thanks Russ.
I'll take a look at it.  I thought that might all I had to do but I was scared to force it.
