Mitutoyo dial gauge bits

[The Merry MillerParticipant @themerrymiller]

I have just purchased a nice Mitutoyo dial gauge on Ebay and it came with a miniature pickle fork accessory, (see pics).

 

I haven’t been able to work out how it is used yet all though I am still working on it.

Can anybody enlighten me please.

 

 

I certainly haven’t come across anything like it before.

 

Its about 2 3/4″ long.

Hi There

Screws on the top of the gauge so you can lift the plunger up.

I think I’ve sussed it now, it bolts onto the side of the gauge and the fork section locates in a groove at the back end of the plunger (once you’ve removed the back end cap)

It then acts as a retractor for the main stem and stops your little pinkies getting jammed up in your work, at least I think that’s what it’s for.

 

I’ve never seen this on any other dial gauge.

Sorry David, you beat me to it.
