This newly concepted dial indicator is perfect for on stage, on the road, or on the reed desk.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/1102-00030-support-2.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <p>With the lower arm folded up, the tongue of the dial is protected.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/fg-messuhr-kompakt-anwendung-1102-00030-31-2.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <p>To rotate the lower arm, first pull the two gold parts apart until the pins are free. These pins keep the arm firmly in place in any of the chosen positions.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/1102-00030_02.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" class="darkenbackground" /> <p>Then you can rotate it 90 degrees and it can stand on your desk to use as a regular dial indicator.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/1102-00030_06.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" class="darkenbackground" /> <p>Rotate it again and the arm is now in a great position to lean against any surface for support while you hold the dial in your hand.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/1102-00030_08.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" class="darkenbackground" /> <p>The Dial Indicator MINI can also stand equally well with the lower arm rotated into the other horizontal position.</p> </hgroup> <section id="details" class="faq detailmenueon toggle" name="FAQ"> <button href="#detail-faq" class="detail-toggle cross"> <h1 id="rns_faq">FAQ</h1></button> <div id="detail-faq" style="display: none"> <span class="fag-frage">How can I set the dial indicator to ZERO?</span> <p class="fag-antwort">The easiest way is to turn the dial so that the large pointer is back at ZERO. However, the dial indicator can also be recalibrated so that the large pointer is back at 12 o'clock. To do this, loosen the fastening screw that fixes the dial indicator in the dial indicator arm. Now position the dial indicator by moving it up or down so that both the small and large pointer show ZERO. When locking the screw do not tighten it too much, as this can block the axle movement in the dial indicator.</p> <span class="fag-frage">Can I change the tip of the dial indicator?</span> <p class="fag-antwort">Replacing the tip of the dial indicator is easy to do. You can simply turn out the tip that you have now with the help of pliers and replace it with the desired new tip. If there is not enough space between the tongue and the tip, you can loosen the screw that fixes the dial gauge in the dial gauge arm and remove the dial gauge from the arm. It may now be necessary to recalibrate the dial indicator.</p> <span class="fag-frage">Can I change the tongue of the dial indicator?</span> <p class="fag-antwort"> The tongue of the dial gauge can also be changed very easily. You can find instructions <a class="rns_textlink" href="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/How-to-exchange-the-Tongue-of-your-Dial-Indicator/">here</a>.</p> <span class="fag-frage">Can the hardness tester be used as a dial indicator?</span> <p class="fag-antwort">The support plate of the hardness tester is too large to obtain precise results. The thickness of finished reeds, for example, cannot be measured with the hardness tester. Inaccurate measurement results may occur also with gouged cane. For this reasons we do not recommend using the hardness tester as a dial indicator.</p> <span class="fag-frage">Can I transform my dial indicator from right to left-handed or do I need to buy a new one?</span> <p class="fag-antwort">The dial indicator can easily be transformed from right to left-handed. Simply loosen the set screw at the end of the arm holding the dial. This will allow you to rotate the dial to face the opposite direction. Be sure to calibrate the height of the dial so it both touches the tongue and reads "0" before tightening the set screw. Make sure not over-tighten this screw as it will damage the actuating shaft and prevent the dial from operating properly.</p> </div></section> https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Measuring-Testing/Dial-Indicator/Dial-Indicator-MINI.html https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Productlist/Analog-Dial-Indicator.html Fri, 09 Oct 2026 13:18:58 +0200 <img src='https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_255_100/1102-00015(5).jpg' border=0 align='left' hspace=5><hgroup> <img data-youtube="vQ3nsKOrtcI" arrow="bright"> <h2>Quality and Control</h2> <p>Precision, durability, and reliability characterize Reeds 'n Stuff dial indicators.</p> <p>Achieve consistently good results by measuring the thickness of your cane.<br>The markings on the tongue help to determine identical measuring points between reeds, which allows you to check the profile and symmetry of the reeds.</p> <p>The dial and the lifting lever can be rotated to any desired position.<br> The dial indicator is therefore suitable for both right-handed and left-handed people.</p> <p>Our dial indicators are available in both analog or digital formats.<br> The precision of both devices is the identical, the only difference lies in the convenience of use.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/1102-00017-support.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <p>New</p> <h2>Curved</h2> <p>The newly designed tongue is slightly curved.<br>This enables precise measurement results along the entire blade.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/FG-Zunge-Messuhr-grau.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <p>New</p> <h2>Highly Accurate</h2> <p>The new side contour at the tip of the tongue tapers towards the front to allow pinpoint measurements on the sides of the tube.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/hgroup/zunge-messuhr-fx_austausch.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <h2>For Upgrading</h2> <p>The new tongue is also available separately so it can be installed in your dial indicator.</p> <p> <a class="rns_productlink" href="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Measuring-Testing/Accessories/Metric-Tongue.html" title="Buy"> Buy </a> </p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/details/detail_MU_Zungenwechsel_OB_02.jpg" width="1500" height="1200" title="" alt="" /> <h2>Swap It Out</h2> <p>Learn how to do so on the <a class="rns_textlink" href="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Measuring-Testing/Dial-Indicator/Support/" title="More Information" >Support</a> page.</p> </hgroup> <hgroup> <img class="detail" src="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/hgroup/20250722_messspitzen.png" title="" alt="" width="1500" height="1200" /> <h2>The Tip of Your Choice</h2> <p>Choose among tips S (Standard for bassoon and the mini dial indicator), F, and D to see the point you are measuring from every perspective and to measure exactly at a given point.

The battery compartment is located on the upper left side of the dial gauge. Use a small screwdriver or the tip of a sharp knife to lift off the small plastic cover. Insert the new battery exactly as you found the old one. When inserting the new battery be careful not to touch, bend, or break the battery contacts (the small pieces of metal inside the dial gauge).<br> You can find detailed instructions <a class="rns_textlink" href="https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/How-you-change-the-battery-of-your-digital-hardness-tester-or-dial-indicator/">here</a>.</p> <span class="fag-frage">Does the oboe digital hardness test ever need to be recalibrated?</span> <p class="fag-antwort">The hardness tester generally does not need to be recalibrated. Recalibration is only necessary if it has been damaged or if the locking screw that holds the dial gauge was accidentally loosened. Under normal conditions, no recalibration is required.</p> </div></section> https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Productlist/Digital-Dial-Indicator.html
