How To Use an Indicator - Dial Travel & Dial Test Indicator Basics - Haas Automation, Inc.

Excellent example of real world use for eliminating cosine error. Great video for keeping in touch with the basics of indicator reading!

For the best results when using a stylus type indicator, you should not depend on the indicator as a measurement device. Cosine error is too variable depending on the swing of the tip. I always recommend using the machine or i.e. graduated height gage for the exact measurement. A stylus indicator is technically only a comparative tool, not a direct tool. In most average cases, it's not a big issue, but when working with very high standards, it should be noted. BTW, the term gage and guage are 2 different meanings. A gage is the referenced tool, guage is the action of using a gage. (For the spell checker.) I use a tire gage to guage my tire pressure.

10mm is 400,000th of an inch?

[@pirminkogleck4056]

are those indicators outsourced from HAAS ?

I just started the video but my first thought is that I hope I will never start the machining centre spindle after checking for runout on a part.

If you are in machining long enough, you'll get your chance. (Been there done that)..

I'm not so sure about that 9.03mm read out. I'll say that was a 8.97mm read out. Since the dial didn't make 9 full rotations, it came 3 graduations short. Even both are within tolerance, that's a huge mistake.

[@DmM843]

It's 9.03mm. The large dial increases in clockwise direction (black numbering) and went for slightly more than 9 rotations. The tiny dial with whole millimeters increases counterclockwise though.

Haas is still doing business with Russia 👎. I'll pass.🇺🇲🇺🇦

[@Jeff-rk8hq]

I’m undoubtedly all for standing up for what you believe in and even sympathize with your stance. However, passing on a brand because they sell their products in a certain country or region seems more like a self sabotaging tactic than anything and if you base your tool purchases on political opinions or religious stances you won’t have the right tool for the job 90% of the time.

@Jeff-rk8hq Haas is wilfully supplying necessary equipment to Russia that Russia uses to make weapons to kill innocent people in Ukraine. Many many of Haas' competitors have chosen to exit the Russian market, and I will be supporting them with future purchases. Boycotting Hass has not impacted my ability to acquire anything.
