## Description

Remember when you had maximum precision in your measurements? Give your dial indicator the support it needs with the WEN Magnetic Base. This handy tool provides a much-needed mount for your precision dial indicator, keeping it elevated and adjustable during operation. Calculate runout and calibrate test equipment with ease by mounting to either the lug or the mount hole of your indicator. Our three-arm system pivots, bends, and locks in a full 360 degrees, reaching up to 14.5 inches in height. All three arms are controlled by the quick-release lock knob for fast and accurate adjustments. Simply install the dial indicator using the method of your choice and turn on the magnetic base. This creates over 175 pounds of magnetic force, allowing you to attach the 2.5 by 2-inch base to any ferrous metal surface. With forces of that magnitude, there will be no wobbling and sliding here. After that, adjust and pivot the arm into position and start calibrating. When you’re done, simply turn off the power switch, disengaging the magnetic base for simple removal and repositioning. Although this unit was designed with the WEN Dial Indicator (models 10702, 10703) in mind, its universal 3/8-inch mounting hole is compatible with the majority of dial indicators on the market. And, because it’s a WEN product, your magnetic base comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are both rods 3/8?**
A: Yes

**Q: How do you zero the small inner dial?**
A: The is no zeroing the small dial.  There should be strain on the gauge, with the small indicator reading above zero, then set the dial to zero - then the gauge is zeroed to the thickness of the material used for the strain.

**Q: What is the purpose of the round 'knob' the clamp? Not the handle that tightens the clamp but on the other end of that handle?**
A: While it's a bit difficult to grasp what your asking, I'm assuming you mean the black junction partway along the swing arm (the silver but that extends laterally) If you're assuming the other two knobs manage pitch, yaw, tilt, and extension, you'd be correct. The last junction isn't wrapping the silver rod, however it may appear in the images. It bisects it. that's actually two silver rods, the end of each connect to the junction you're asking after:
                 (|  |)
========|  |=========

This give you a bit of  leeway in the arm itself. Some give. Yanno, so the $300 Starrit dial indicator (one inexplicably has chosen to mount on a $20 Wen magnetic arm) isn't mangled by the angle of the dangle if your test setup gets rearrangled. The knob basically extends a threaded rod through the cap and exerts force on the opposite side, making it rigid and increasing the accuracy of your measurements (typically up to a full decimal point 0.01 -> 0.001).

...at least, ostensibly that's how this is supposed to go. Again, though: $20. Wen. Made from the finest Chinesium alloys (the only "steel" this device has ever seen is spelled with an "a" and refers to the originator's patent application. 

Now, no offense intended here, but by virtue of the fact you didn't know this (not that there's any reason you SHOULD have; I'm not being judgy here, honest), then the level of accuracy this tool is capable of providing will almost certainly satisfy your needs. One you've gotten deep enough into milling/machining to CARE about that kind of delta (for woodworking even this is almost overkill; the dimensional instability of wood due to humidity alone cancels out anything at the tenth range), you'll have run into the issue and the solution organically.

If this IS for woodworking, just get the dial indicator and some 123 blocks. Really the only practical application for it there is to ensure your blades are parallel to the miter slot on your table/bandsaw. I suppose you could use it to align a tormek perfectly square too, but if you're running a Tormek, again: you're prolly not LOOKING at these.

**Q: For the manufacturer or seller - Why doesn't the needle point straight up when at zero?**
A: It does the dial face is adjustable. I use precision devices constantly and my company has to calibrate them every 6 months and this is one product I've had no issue with
