A Mitutoyo versatile lever indicator (or dial test indicator, DTI) suited to alignment operations on machine tools and similar applications. The measuring head is adjustable through a complete rotation, so this type has the advantage where the capability of omnidirectional measurement, independent of indicator orientation, is an advantage for ease of reading. This indicator also automatically adapts to the required measuring direction on contact, and the jewelled movement provides lowest friction and stiction for smooth and precise operation.
