The centric measuring insert of the movable mea-
suring point is replaced by the excentric one by
screwing the latter in position by means of the
screwdriver.
The measuring insert of the fixed measuring point
and the point itself are a single unit. The centric
measuring insert is also replaced by the excentric
one.

on the micrometer part and add the total length of
the extensions used to this value.
After the excentric measuring inserts have been
mounted the measuring head must be set as des-
cribed in chapter 4. For this setting operation it is
recommended to use the two supporting blocks
which are supplied with the two measuring inserts
for excentric measurements and to mount these on
the setting gauge.
These measuring inserts are 0.55" (14 mm) offset.

to the backplate of the dial indicator by means
of the Allen key and replace the standard fixed
measuring point by the one intended for making
external measurements.
– Set measuring head on setting gauge as descri-
