This is a perfect and clear explanation. I am new to this. I just obtained an old Starrett indicator, and have been trying to figure it out. Thank you.
Thank you for the explanation. To some it may be boring but I appreciate the way you teach (explain) and leave nothing to guessing. Dont change anything in the way you present these videos except if you could use a pen instead of a sharpie.
Thank you for the very in depth explanation of using this, and how each part of the dial indicator is used and read. People like me (woodworker) who are not engineers or machinists use these to set the accuracy on our tools. But I had never seen, or used one prior to learning this trade. So this was very helpful! Awesome explanation!

worked on a golf course 15 years ago using accu gauge and setting hieghts recently got a job on a golf course and could not for the life of me remember how to use one. your video brought the memories back thanks
G'day and thank you very much for this maths lesson on reading a dial gauge I found it very helpful and I have subscribed so that I can go back over these lessons. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia
You can do much more than just runout on rotating items with a dial indicator. At work I use a dial indicator to measure the side to side movement of rudders among other things.
Where can I buy the dial indicator? Where I work at, we use the dial indicator alot. To set inserts radius on the machines. That way inserts can cutting parts. Exp. 5.50 mm (+/-) 0.10 mm
Look around pro/industrial local tool suppliers (they carry the brands that work and customers trust) who carry tools for machinists and millwrights. Some other ideas Lee Valley Tools, Grainger.
I just started work at NTN Bower on a outer diameter grinder built in the 40s, as I feed the parts in they are coming back around on a conveyer belt and I have to check them on a dial indicator which I have no clue as of now how to read, today is my 3rd day on the job, I hope I can get it, thanx for the video, numbers and math are my worst subject
Hello can you help me for this question? A dial indicator is used to measure ___________. A. Positive readings only or B. Shaft eccentricity, thank you, cause im confused for my exam reviewer same questions but both A and B are the correct answer, i think there is some correction there. Thank you.
Besides a logic glitch, A or B could be correct. Or neither. A reading of any kind is NOT what's being measured. Dial indicators measure length. Length includes diameter or radius, which are also length-type measurements, both run in a straight line. Eccentricity is calculated from the measurements, not directly measured. It's a topic in metrology, and is somewhat philosophical. A better test question is "What is the reading in this picture", but ... Sorry about the late reply.
So if I am trying to find 4 mm BTDC on my engine (to set the ignition timing), and I am using an Imperial dial indicator, a depth of 4 mm would equal .1575" . So .1575" would be roughly the "16" mark on the outer dial. Correct?
You are correct that 4mm equals .1575". Drop the last 5 for this is called 1/2 thousandths or tho for short. So you have 157 thousandths. 1 turn is a 100 then go 57 more
Thanks for this video, really informative. I had a question. I just purchased a dial bore gauge but mine is only half and inch. It rotates 5 times for 1/2 an inch. Do i read it the same? it has 0-0.25 on the face. Any help would be appreciated. thank you.
Favio Escudero In principle it reads the same. The following makes sense in terms of manufacturing and gearing an instrument: 1 full indicator needle rotation on the face must advance the tip the maximum distance printed on the dial face. If you have a dial face 0 - 1/4 inch, 4 full turns must make 1 inch of travel. Check it, does your have this 4:1 gearing built into?
apprenticemath My gauge is half an inch unlike yours that's an inch. The guage is just like yours on the video. However, as explained, mine reads .001 graduation and it has 0-.25. Now, if my math is right, is .001 times 100 equals to .1 and .1 times 5 turns (which it only does) equals to .5 (half inch as the needle). Do i read this gauge at .001 graduation?? sorry for the quesitons just condused. I bought it from amazon and it indicated it had graduaiton of .0005; however, when i got it this was not so on the gauge. Thanks.
Favio Escudero You are right, that`s how it`s geared, that`s how its read. Now about the 0.0005 - the painted marks are at 0.001, measurements can be taken directly when the needle is aligned with the mark. The precision is 0.001 When the needle is between 2 painted marks, you estimate the last digit to be 0.0005, round up or down. Say 0.003 plus a little is either 0.0030 or 0.0035 Or almost 0.157 is 0.1570 or 0.1565 Here is my video on significant and estimated digits th-cam.com/video/HFBrC5XMDO8/w-d-xo.html
I know it’s been 4 yrs since you asked your question. Hopefully you finally got the correct answer. If not here it is. You have a 0 to a quarter inch indicator. So one revolution is .05. Next revolution is .10 3rd rev is .15 4th rev is .20and final 5th rev is .25 So The last rev is 25/100 which reduced down is a quarter of an inch. Hope this helped
Hi,sir I know that you teaching would be spot on ,on the way you explain on this video,how to read the dial and how to write the decimal or fraction , But I am having trouble why as a fraction ten thousonths of an inch is written 1000 and not 10000.to me how you written 1000 shows me its one thousanths ,could you explain please,
Hello sir,my dials all have 0.01"mm not 0.01"- 1.00" written on the face and some have a small dail on them with 1-5 0r 1-9 numbers,Now all of the throat`s measure just over half an inch in length not over 1" so not like yours ,so are my dials the same as yours as far as the reading go,some spin 5-1/4 around and some spin just over a little past 10-1/4 turns,
jason hazelwood Have to figure out the gearing, looks like the 5x spin and the 10x spin somehow work with 1-5 and 1-9 numbers. 1 See which is fastest to turn, most sensitive to changes in length. Those dials give you the smallest place value digits, 1/100 or 0.01. 2 Check how many full turns of the faster needle will make the slower turn once. It could be 2x, 5x or 10x 3 Work out the place value for the slower dial. Check math with a test block of known size.
I hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way.. I wasn't trying to be malicious. Your video was actually the most helpful for me. The dial indicator essentially divides an inch into ~1000 units or 1.000" One turn of the dial = 100 units or 0.100" Five turns = 500 units or 0.500" Nine and a half turns = 950 units or 0.950" The small dial usually shows the count of turns out of the available ~10. Your dial seems to only show 5 at a time.

Thank you for the excellent and clear tutorial! I now know how to read my dial indicator.
Sir you explain very simply to understand everyone,I watch lots of video regarding DTI but you are amazing.
This was a really good instruction video on using this gauge! Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to help others. I thought it was very informative.
Good explaining sir. To day learn good reading dial gage. God bless you sir. I am Sri Lanka

Not even close. After 15 full turns "75" mark on the outboard dial.

Awesome video, please can you make a review of this video using millimeter dial gauge because of us that are not use to inches
Will do when I find a mm dial gauge
I am understanding 1/100 =0.01
what I called in inch
what is means of filler??

Thank you this video was very helpful.
or you can measure the difference between two cycles in any other kind of repeating motion to.
Kindly provide the details of DEMEC Strain gauge with working and design
Thanks for the video. Easy to understand.
Every video on this subject is blacked out, not only yours but everyone else's as well why? Why are they censoring everything we are trying to learn?
Cool thank you .Good info to work with to measure ball joint radial measurement .
Sir very nice explaination. Please upload how to read properly '' dial bore gauge''
At 19:34 I guess it is 14 not 13 so it would be 314 not 313
Right, 0.314 or 314/1000
thank you...
please share how to read proving ring reading and how to calculate itslist count.
Thanks for good information about rotating
That was excellent. Thank you.
Very good tutorial. Thank you for making and sharing this.
It was actually 300of1000 plus 14of1000 and not 13 so it's 314of1000 hence .314
Excellent video, Thanks for your teaching !
Would you please demonstrate dial indicator starts with .0005 " that would be more helpful thank you again.
Can not be shown accurately, number too small, it is exactly halfway between 0 and the first painted line (which is at 0.0001)
Great teacher 👏
it would be easier to grasp if the presentation was done directly, then explain the facts.like showing a part being measured, and read the reading.
whats between 0 and half one?
What number is half one? One what?
Thanks a lot this is very helpful
No worries!
Thanks for the video, I've learned a lot.
at time19:47 ,please correct the reading, reading should be 314/1000 not a 313/1000
You're right, my bad. Thanks for spotting it!

The dial indicator essentially divides an inch into ~1000 units or 1.000"
One turn of the dial = 100 units or 0.100"
Five turns = 500 units or 0.500"
