Dial gauges in 0.01 mm and 0.001 mm resolutions — for runout checks, alignment, and precision workshop measurement — stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, authorised Mitutoyo dealer, price on request.
A dial gauge (also called a dial indicator) translates the linear displacement of a contact point into a rotary pointer movement on a graduated dial. The mechanism — a rack and pinion or lever amplifier — is precise enough to resolve movements of 0.01 mm (10 microns) in the standard version, or 0.001 mm (1 micron) in the high-resolution test indicator version. For a machined component where a tolerance of 0.05 mm represents acceptable or scrap, no other handheld measuring instrument provides this combination of speed, resolution, and ease of reading.
Workshop engineers in Guwahati's precision-engineering clusters — pump repair shops, lathe and milling jobbers, motor rewinding units, and machine-tool dealers along AT Road and Bamunimaidam — use dial gauges daily for runout checking on lathe chucks and workpieces, verifying the parallelism of vise jaws, setting up boring bars, and checking the flatness of surface-ground plates. The gauge mounts on a magnetic-base stand (stocked separately), positioned against the rotating or traversing surface with the contact tip lightly loaded against it.
Civil lab technicians use dial gauges in the consolidation test apparatus and CBR test setup to measure millimetre-level soil deformation under load. Surveyors and alignment engineers use them to set the level of precision instruments on stable mounts. In all these applications, the Mitutoyo brand is the reference standard: the Japanese manufacturer's bore-measuring, surface-measuring, and dial-indicator products are trusted in ISO-audited production environments where instrument traceability to national standards matters.
Multi Trade Combines is an authorised Mitutoyo dealer — one of the very few in Northeast India — which means the gauges you purchase are genuine instruments backed by the manufacturer's warranty, not grey-market copies. Pair the dial gauge with a vernier caliper, outside micrometer, or depth micrometer for a complete bench-metrology setup.

A 0.01 mm resolution dial gauge (often called a standard dial indicator) is suitable for most workshop measurements: checking shaft runout, setting tool height, verifying surface flatness, and alignment work. A 0.001 mm resolution gauge (dial test indicator or high-resolution indicator) is for precision applications like CMM probing, bearing pre-load setting, and fine grinding machine alignment where the tolerance is tighter than 0.01 mm.
Mitutoyo dial gauges are designed for recalibration and traceable standards. Multi Trade Combines, as an authorised Mitutoyo dealer in Guwahati, can advise on calibration services. For ISO-audited factories and QC labs in Northeast India requiring NABL-traceable calibration certificates, we can connect you with calibration service providers. Call or WhatsApp for details.
