Mitutoyo "2416S" Dial Indicator, #4-48 UNF Thread, 0.375" Stem Dia., "Lug Back," White Dial, 0-100 Reading, 2.244" Dial Dia., 0-1" Range, 0.001" Graduation, +/-0.002" Accuracy

Just always reliable and true… considering that is likely used in the manual machining world… use this gently and the readout will be true…

This is a genuine Mitutoyo dial indicator and not a counterfeit that are now common. The external appearance shows high-quality machining/production. My certificate shows the same serial number that's on the tool, and I haven't seen that number used on others from photos I have found online. I pulled the rear cover, and the internals are identical to genuine Mitutoyo internals with almost all the gears being metal except what looks like one of the dial/needle gears might be plastic (or anodized black), but I can't get to it to really tell. The counterfeits have far fewer components inside and use a lot of plastic. I compared the measurements I got against a standard, and they are spot on.

Just bought this Mitutoyo drop dial indicator and I couldn't be happier with it. Its very well worth the money and its not built cheap like some " bargain" indicators that you'll find. I've already used it for indicating in lathe work, mill work and I.D.-O.D. grinding work as well. Very accurate. I would highly recommend this drop dial indicator to anyone.

This is my first quality dial indicator. I've been purchasing the cheaper HF versions because well, I needed it now and the store was just down the road. In this town it's the only place I can find a dial indicator. Is there a difference between the cheap and a Mitutoyo? absolutely! the movement is silky smooth and readings are repeatable. Some of the cheaper variants I've picked up on Amazon; and I ended up sending back because the readings were not repeatable. I'd evaluate the indicator on a 1 2 3 block. Oddly enough, I find the indicator so nice I'm afraid to use it on my lathe; which is why I purchased it in the first place.

El producto llego en buena condiciones. Esta igual que la imagen de la propaganda. Solamente que demoró unas dias mas de lo previsto en la entrega.

This indicator seems to be built well. It has a good fit and finish as you would expect to find with Mitutoyo. In terms of repeatability and accuracy I did not have a chance to measure, though the indicator came with a spec sheet. Passing a 2 rev indication within 0.001" accuracy. The only problem I have with the indicator is the bezel ring, it is plastic. It zeros extremely smooth and has a good resistance to hold position. I have compared the indicator movement with a Starret 25-441J indicator(whose bezel ring is also plastic) and I feel that the Mitutoyo is smoother and feels better put together less run out on the stem bore, however the Starrett has better plunger sensitivity. That of course is my own opinion.

What can I say gold standard and its quite good

Typical Mitutoyo quality at a fair price. Silky smooth operation. Last year I bought a cheap dial indicator set with magnetic base and extra spindles for a ridiculously low price and as expected, got what I paid for. The cheap magnetic base works ok, but the cheap dial indicator is very rough and jerky. All of the cheap accessories work with the new Mitutoyo. I paid more than double the cost of the cheap one for just the Mitutoyo indicator but it is well worth it. Two thumbs up!

Travaille

This does appear to be a legitimate Mitutoyo indicator. As with most Mitutoyo tools it is extremely smooth and well built. This model has a lug back. DOES NOT include limit markers as the listing states. (I believe only metric Mitutoyos come with limit markers) Does not come in a case, just a cardboard box with a plastic insert.

Would not recommend, this is suppose to be heavy duty, i never dropped it once and the needle came off 2 weeks after i received it and 3 weeks after the purchase, i received an invoice for 20.82$ from FedEx, it never talked about this charge on Amazon when i placed my order .
