Interapid Indicator with 5.5" long Contact Points
5.5" extra long carbide point with M1.7 threads suitable for use with Interapid models 312B-15 and 312B-15V
Interapid 312B-15 and 312B-15V (vertical style) already come with 2.75" long contact points.
You have the option of installing a 5.5" long point (exactly twice the length).
- Even though the dial reads in .0005", once you install the 5.5" long contact point the graduations on the dial will be equal to .001" (There are no other options.)
Many customers use this long point for finding center and concentricity of barrels, such as rifle and gun barrels. In those cases, the value of the graduations are of little concern. Customers who have used this special point report that the indicator works fine and that the overall accuracy is not compromised.
The shaft of the point is steel and the ball is carbide with .080" diameter. The thread is M1.7 making it suitable for Interapid 312B-15 and 312B-15V indicators.
It should not be used with other Interapid models. The 312B-15 and 312B-15V have stronger hairsprings which helps overcome the extra weight of the longer points. We do not advise using this point with any other brand of test indicator.
