Completed Component Included in the Package
- Quick-release lock knob releases and secures all three joints simultaneously for easy adjustments
- The direction and position of the rotating joint can be adjusted arbitrarily, which is flexible, strong and stable.
- Two solid magnet surfaces with on/off control can provide a maximum tensile force of 176lbs (176lbs tensile force requires a metal working surface/surface with a thickness of 1.2"/30mm and above). Please tight en up the adjusting knob before using to get the powerful and stable magnet.
Note:
- Please hold the gauge stem tightly to change the testing tips.
- The precision of dial indication often lost due to the vibration of machinery and paralax effect.
- Space constraints can lead to installing the tool at an angle due to which precision of measuring device is lost.
- Please make the contact face as smooth as possible to make the magnetic strength be the best.

I got this magnetic base stand for my Non-digital (analog) Dial indicator (Amazon). It has a very strong magnetic hold down force which you can turn on and off very easily with the lever and when you have it in position you just lock it all down with the finger wheel. Solid.It looks like the Amazon description now says "The holding hole is 0.315inch (8mm), that is suitable for the digital metric dial gauge." Which is true; it's actually able to open to 8.07 mm or 0.318 inches and I can close down to as small as 7.5 mm. But I don't believe the Amazon description said the size it could accommodate at this time I ordered the item. I had thought that it would naturally accommodate my dial indicator's standard size stem which is 3/8 inch (0.375 inch or 9.525 mm). But no, that 1.5 mm difference in diameter is unacceptable to the magnetic base stand. There is no way around it – the device will not accept my dial indicator unless I drill out the opening – in which case it should fit a 3/8 inch stem, but only being able to close by about half a millimeter could not clamp down on an 8 mm diameter stem without a shim. A small redesign by the manufacturer to allow a wider range of openings should make both the metric and SAE folks happy. Minus two stars for lack of flexibility in accommodating different standards stem sizes.In Conclusion: not recommend unless you have an 8mm stem dial indicator.
