How to select a suitable magnetic stand?

A magnetic stand, a dial indicator (or lever indicator), can help you do many things during production, such as measuring the runout or smoothness of the workpiece. If you protect it well, this product will last you a long time.

So how to select the magnetic stand you need?

1.Determine the magnetic force you need.The powerful magnetic force ensures that you don't move while using it -- unless you want it to. Magnetic force is different, there are 60kg, 80kg, 100kg, 120kg and so on. So it's important to choose the magnetic force your needs.

2.Stem length.The Stem is varied, mainly depends on the production of the environment, need to consider whether the support needs to be flexible rotation and the length of the work required.

Then how to maintain the magnetic stand?

1.Most magnetic stand have a switch.You can place to a metal surface when you turn the switch ‘on’. Or turn the switch ‘off’,then place it in a drawer or toolbox, and don't leave the stand ‘on’ when you're not using the product, as this can decrease the magnetism.

2.The magnetic stand and dial indicator should be placed in a dry place, to avoid the risk of falling on the ground.Keeping them covered and away from dust and moisture is a way to prolong their life. If dust does accumulate, wipe it with a flannelless cloth until it is clean.

3.Ensure working surfaces are level and clean at all times.
