Product Overview
Plunger-type indicators cannot reach inside bores, narrow slots or recessed faces, and they can be awkward for machine alignment. The Mitutoyo 513-402-10E is a lever-type dial test indicator with 0.0005" graduation and a 0.03" range.
The no-clutch design reverses measuring direction automatically, while jeweled bearings provide high sensitivity and quick response. The carbide-tipped contact point is designed for precise measurement. The listing states accuracy of ±0.0005". It is genuine Mitutoyo, supplied through an authorised distributor.
Typical uses include centring work and aligning fixtures on machine tools, runout and flatness checks, and measuring in bores, slots and recessed areas. Dial test indicators are commonly used for centring work in a lathe or mill, aligning vices and fixtures, checking runout, and measuring narrow or recessed areas that conventional plunger indicators cannot easily access. The Basic Set includes the test indicator, stem and knurled clamp ring.
For the best accuracy, keep the stylus as close to parallel with the measured surface as possible. When the stylus is at an angle, the reading can be larger than the true movement due to cosine error, so keeping the stylus properly aligned helps minimise this effect.
Before ordering, confirm the graduation and range you need, the stem size for your holder, and whether the Basic Set or another configuration suits your work. Our team can help you choose and arrange calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dial test indicator used for?
A dial test indicator is used for alignment, centring, runout checks and measuring narrow or recessed areas that plunger indicators cannot easily reach.
What are the graduation and measuring range?
The Mitutoyo 513-402-10E has a 0.0005" graduation and a 0.03" measuring range.
What is the accuracy of the 513-402-10E?
The listed accuracy is ±0.0005".
What does the Basic Set include?
The Basic Set includes the test indicator, stem and knurled clamp ring.
What is cosine error?
If the stylus is not properly aligned with the direction of measurement, the indicator can over-read the true movement. Keeping the stylus close to parallel with the measured surface helps minimise this error.
Should I choose the 513-402-10E or the 513-302-10T?
The Mitutoyo 513-302-10T also has a 0.03" range. Match the graduation, range, mounting arrangement and application requirements to your work.
How should I care for a dial test indicator?
Keep the contact point and moving parts clean and dry, avoid sudden impacts, and store the indicator safely when not in use. Regular calibration helps maintain trustworthy readings.
Can the indicator be calibrated?
General Tech Kuwait provides ISO 17025 calibration support for dimensional instruments. Ask the team about calibration when ordering.
Can you supply stands, holders and other Mitutoyo instruments in the same order?
Yes. General Tech can quote stands, holders, micrometers, gauges and other Mitutoyo instruments together with the indicator.
