196, 196M Universal Back Plunger Dial Indica tors .200", 5MM Our 196 Indicator is one of the most versatile indicators available … and it is the "granddaddy" of them all. Over the years this tool has been improved by methods and materials, but the basic design is unchanged. The design has withstood the test of time and beaten all challengers because it is: •  Accurate and reliable • Simple to operate • Rugged, with few moving parts • Smooth in operation Left: 196MB1 Below: 196B1 While there is a need for indicators with finer graduations, such as our 708 Indicators, this indicator with graduations to .001" and 0.02mm will handle by far the majority of jobs. Shank diameter is 1/4" (6.3mm). Antimagnetic models are also available: (inch reading) 196A6Z and 196B6. For full use,the operator first chooses the proper contact from the three hardened contact points that come with each model.Then the contact should be brought against the work with enough pressure to give the hand one full turn. Set the hand at zero by rotating the dial with the knurled bezel.This provides one full rotation of the hand both to the right and left of zero, showing a rise or drop in the work and the amount of that variation.
