Federal

 

The new-style but discontinued Federal indicators (T-101, T-102, etc.) are manufactured by Tesa in Switzerland. The contact points are identical to those used by Bestest and Tesatast indicators. For that reason, your order form will make reference to Bestest contact points rather than Federal points. These points will not fit the newest indicators made in Germany which are sold with the name MarTest.

Old style points (M-1, T-1, etc.) have ratchets rather than threads. They slip into place. If you use a magnifying glass you'll be able to see how they're meant to fit The length is measured from the center of the ball to the center of the pivot.

Mercer

 

How are they measured? You may see two different lengths for each Mercer test indicator depending on which catalog you're looking at. We measure these from the shoulder of the point to the center of the ball. The manufacturer calls this the L2 dimension (see illustration) and this is the length shown below. Thread size is M1.6

A word of caution: don't confuse these Mercer model numbers with the Interapid metric indicators, some of which have the same numbers (312-1 for example)! The following points are specifically for Mercer indicators, made in Switzerland. For additional information on Mercer test indicators see page198.

  • carbide $19.50
  • ruby $29.50

Bestest

 

The model suffix (-3 and -5) refers only to whether the dial is white or black. For example 7030-3 and 7030-5. Older, obsolete models had -2 or -1 as a suffix. They also use the same contact points. Points are identical for inch and metric models.

You can also buy a special double length point which is 1" long. The readings on the dial will also be doubled. In other words, the .0005" indicator will now read .001". Make sure you label your indicator when you do this, so that no one misreads the dial.

How are they measured? From the shoulder (not including the thread) to the center of the ball. Custom ball diameters are available as well as teflon and nylon. Bestest contact points can be used with the Adapt-A-Tip adapter (shown on page 133) for dial and digital indicators.

  • $19.50 each
  • $15.60 each for 3 or more (of one kind)
  • $29.50 each for ruby or Teflon contact points (any quantity)
