INSIZE 6282-1708 Cylindrical Contact Point M2.5, Diameter 1.00 mm, Length 40 mm, Carbide

The INSIZE 6282-1708 cylindrical contact point is a precision-engineered accessory designed for use with dial indicators and test gauges. Featuring a standard M2.5 thread, this component is crafted from high-quality carbide, ensuring exceptional durability and stability during measurement processes. With a diameter of 1.00 mm and a total length of 40 mm, it is specifically designed to reach into narrow or restricted areas where standard contact points may not fit, providing reliable and consistent results in demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this contact point is its carbide construction, which offers superior wear resistance compared to standard steel tips, significantly extending the service life of the tool. The slim 1.00 mm diameter allows for precise access to small holes, grooves, and intricate features that are otherwise difficult to measure. Its standardized M2.5 thread ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of dial indicators and test gauges, making it a versatile addition to any metrology toolkit. The robust design maintains its shape and accuracy over repeated use, ensuring that quality control processes remain consistent and dependable.

Suitable for

• Measuring small diameter holes and narrow grooves
• Precision inspection of intricate mechanical parts
• Quality control tasks in manufacturing environments
• Use with dial indicators and test gauges featuring M2.5 threads

When it may not be suitable

This contact point may not be suitable for applications requiring a larger contact surface area, as the 1.00 mm diameter is optimized for fine, localized measurements. It is also not intended for use on soft or delicate materials that could be damaged by the high-hardness carbide tip.

Key specifications

• Thread type: M2.5
• Tip diameter: 1.00 mm
• Total length: 40 mm
• Material: Carbide

How to use

To use the contact point, simply unscrew the existing tip from your dial indicator or test gauge and thread the INSIZE 6282-1708 into the spindle. Ensure the thread is fully engaged and tightened securely by hand to prevent any movement during measurement. Once installed, verify the zero position of your indicator on a flat reference surface before beginning your inspection tasks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your measuring instrument supports the M2.5 thread standard
• Ensure the 40 mm length is appropriate for the depth of the features you intend to measure
• Confirm that the 1.00 mm diameter is suitable for the specific geometry of your workpiece

Usage recommendations

Always handle the carbide tip with care, as it can be brittle if subjected to sudden impacts or lateral forces. Regularly clean the tip with a soft cloth to remove debris or oils that could affect measurement accuracy.
