Precision Centering Device

Blake Manufacturing is the original manufacturer of this unique Coaxial Indicator Centering device that easily locates the center of your work piece. Mr. John Blake filed his patent in 1955 & a couple years later (1957) US Patent Number 2814124 was successfully issued! Soon thereafter Blake Manufacturing was born! Today, most machinists know Blake Coaxial Indicators as the Premier Quality Brand for this type of CoAxial Indicator Centering device.

The BLAKE COAXIAL INDICATOR provides a simplified method for centering a workpiece or fixture on HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL machines, EXTERNAL or INTERNAL diameters -also with N/C, EDM and other hard to turn spindles. Blake is the original inventor and manufacturer of this coaxial indicator device & we are known around the world for our quality products!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at sales@blakemanufacturing.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is your coaxial indicator the best?

Yes. Ours is the best. At least that is my opinion.

Want to check? Set up our indicator on a conventional mill. Center your workpiece using our indicator. Check the positional accuracy using a .0001" dial indicator. Repeat the process above for the imported versions.

I'll buy you a beer if theirs is even the same TIR. (just kidding. I was told I can't buy customers a beer 🙁. but the laugh is free... laugh= from the results of the test above.)

Is your indicator made in the USA??

Yes. Made right here in the great state of California.

Can I repair it myself?

You are free to try. I saw a youtube video recently where the content creator was able to fix it themselves. I was impressed. The accuracy was about .003" which I thought was pretty good. Based on our tests, the imported versions are about that accurate so maybe its worth a try. Make sure your comfortable with the task.

If you want it repaired to the .0002" positional accuracy send it in and we'll be happy to fix it for you.

How long does it take for Repair?

It will ship about 2 weeks after you approve the repair.

Can this type of indicator be calibrated?

No, not with your conventional NIST certified labs. We can however certify the new and repaired product leaving our facility meets the .0002" positional accuracy. Ask for this certification on your Purchase Order if needed.

What is your return policy?

No returns. Please don't buy the product if you're not sure you need it.
