Description
The tool that tells you whether your machine is actually straight.
Clamp the magnetic base, put the tip on the spindle, turn it by hand and read the needle. That number is your runout. Everybody quotes runout figures; almost nobody shows you how they got them. This is how.
- Dial indicator plus articulated magnetic base. The base switches on and off with one lever.
- Use it on the spindle, the chuck, the table or the part.
- The way to check a used or new machine before you trust it with a part you care about.
Where the base goes on a mini drill press
A magnetic base holds on steel. The base of our Mini Drill Press is aluminum, so the magnet will not grip it. Stand the indicator on any steel block, plate or vise beside the machine, switch the magnet on there, and swing the arm across to the spindle.
The numbers
The indicator reads 0 to 10 mm at 0.01 mm per division.

30-day returns from the day it arrives. Return postage is yours, the price of the item comes back in full.
Shipping and returns
Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.
Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item. In the United States the Mini Drill Press, the lathes, the XYZ and XYZR micrometer stages and many of the tools ship from US warehouses and arrive in about a week or less. Items shipped from overseas take one to two weeks, a few larger ones two to four. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.
30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.
Before you order
Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.
What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.
Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.
