The aluminum strut and cold drawn steel base provide a solid foundation, while the switchable permanent magnet allows for effortless installation on any metal surface. The universal knob features a flexible, strong, and precise rotary joint that can adjust the support rod to any direction, ensuring high stability and firm fixation. This stand is perfect for conventional dial indicators or lever dial test indicators, enhancing its compatibility with most tools on the market. Whether it’s mechanical calibration, technical measurement, machining, workpiece measurement, or equipment calibration, our stand delivers reliable performance. The innovative three-arm system offers complete freedom of movement, bending, and locking in a full 360 degrees, complemented by a quick-release lock knob that simultaneously secures all three joints, making adjustments swift and hassle-free.

Review: Not lab grade, but for the price it's hard to beat - Pros: -Inexpensive, yet does what it's supposed to do. -Fine adjustment works well and in both directions. -Arms articulate well and locking knob holds secure. -On/Off switch is smooth and reliable. -Body of base feels solid and weighs about 1lb+. -Depending on angle of arm or weight of you dial indicator, it's possible to use without an anchoring surface. -Slightly V-shaped allows for use on irregular ferrous metals. -Both the base and the back have surfaces that are ground reasonably flat. Two possible mounting options. -Decent item for the price. Cons: -If you have a Standard dial indicator with a 3/4" diameter stem mount, you will need to modify (drill) the main clamp to accommodate your dial indicator. Other reviewers have noted this and it's stated in the specs that the mounting clamp is about 8mm. This is not a product flaw! -The hex nut that secures the arm to the base was slightly loose. A quarter turn with a wrench fixed that. -Other reviews have noted that the machined bases surface are rough. This may be true, but once the magnet is engaged, it's less of a problem. For price, there's no way this would have hand-finishing from the factory. Final Judgment: Worth the money, despite the minor flaws. If you want perfection, you'll need to spend more than $30. With quick modification, this stand and arm is perfectly usable with imperial dial indicators. DIY-ers and hobbyists, this stand is more than capable.
Review: Versatile mag base for machinists and for proto-type situations! - This is versatile and high quality mag base for machinists and for proto-type situations. It's a great value, in spite of the fact that the indicator mount is designed for metric (8mm) mounting pins. I use this mag base both in my machine shop with my indicators, and in my lab where I proto-type various optical / mechanical setups. I own 5 of these units. In the machine shop I use two to hold dial indicators and tram in the mill head, vise, etc. With a depth indicator I can get precise depth of any machining operation I want to. In my lab I use up to 5 of these at once - I made a steel platform 12" x 12" x 1/4" with padded feet. On this platform I can place these mag bases fitted with laser, mirror and other optical mounts, and precisely adjust every optical component to create any scenario I want, even X-Y laser scanning setups. When you gradually tighten the main knob on this mag base, every joint tightens as well, so you can achieve a wonderful and precise set of angles from the base all the way to the end point where your indicator or other device is mounted. Once you firmly tighten that main knob, the entire thing is really firm and stable - nothing will move, unless you get careless and bump it real hard. Then you also have fine adjustment right at the indicator mount. I love these things! Very well designed and great quality!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this hold an instrument with a 3/8" stem? The description says "approximately"**
A: I ordered this holder and it will not hold a 3/8 dial indicator. The hole is much too small at 8 mm and the dial indicators are 9.52 mm (3/8) on my calculator. You cannot pry it open and I don't think there is enough metal to drill it our successfully. I do like how the arms hold, but I am at a loss as to solving the holding diameter. Buying another dial indicator just adds to the cost. I will probably return it.

**Q: What is the thread size for the arm connecting to the base?**
A: I don’t know. It’s solid at the base. I wouldn’t recommend buying it. Get a NOGA

**Q: Do you have one with a 3/8 hole instead of 8mm?**
A: I had to drill mine out to 3/8 and it is easy to do as the metal is aluminum.

**Q: Can you remove the magnet base and use it in a collet or chuck??**
A: The mount at the magnetic base is a ball swivel.  I can't imagine it being very stable or accurate if used in a chuck or collet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Weird clamp size, good value
*by G***E on February 24, 2020*

I drilled out the clamp to 3/8 inches, to use an indicator I had from harbor freight. The dovetail also seems to be an uncommon format, as it doesn't work with a Mitotoya test indicator. This was double the cost of the beam style holder I got at HF, and far more than twice as good. It has consistently met my needs, but not my expectations. Even tightened at the way, it's easy to accidentally move any of the joints. It's smooth to operate, but by no means silky, and positioning it correctly is usually a two attempt affair, even after months of practice. Ultimately, I bought a Noga when I ran into the limitations this had on a project, but I'm happy to have bought it when I did, and I will continue to use it in some applications.
