The swivel holder, with a 15mm long stem, shown above, rotates freely (±30°) in all directions until tightened into the desired position. Fixed stems are similar but do not swivel. These are the best quality stems available. Please note, not all stem attachments look exactly as pictured above. Click on a linked order number to purchase online. |

Rectangular or cylindrical shank |
| | | |
Works in conjunction with a clamp. Order the items separately from the list below. The clamp attaches to any dovetail. The rectangular or cylindrical shank fits into the 5.6mm diameter hole on the clamp (shown below). Tightening the knob will tighten both the rectangular shank and the dovetail at once.  
This indispensible universal holder for lathes and height gages has been newly redesigned by the manufacturer. They replace the former Compac model SP and SPA holder. The rectangular or cylindrical shank attaches firmly to any dovetail (any manufacturer) and then clamps into the tool post holder or into the height gage. The indicator can swivel into many positions and then stays securely fixed when the knob is tightened. It will also accommodate a dial indicator with a standard 3/8" diameter stem. It's also an ideal way to calibrate both your test and dial test indicators when used with a height gage and some gage blocks. Order one shank (rectangular or cylindrical) and one clamp shown below. Swiss-made. |
