Precision Coaxial Indicators for Fast, Accurate Centering

The Blake Coaxial Indicator provides a fast and reliable method for centering a workpiece or fixture on milling machines, lathes, EDM equipment, and other machine tools. Designed for both internal and external diameters, the Blake Co-Ax Indicator allows machinists to quickly locate true center while the spindle rotates under power.

With final manufacturing and assembly in the USA, Blake coaxial indicators are trusted throughout the machining industry for their durability, repeatability, and ease of use. Whether aligning bores, locating bosses, or setting up precision machining operations, the Blake Coaxial Indicator simplifies spindle alignment and reduces setup time.

Why Use a Blake Coaxial Indicator?

The Blake Co-Ax Indicator helps operators achieve accurate centering without complicated setups or time-consuming indicating procedures.

Key Benefits

• Fast      centering of bores and outside diameters
• Works      on vertical and horizontal machines
• Improves      setup efficiency and repeatability
• Allows      hands-free table adjustment during spindle rotation
• Designed      for precision machining applications
• Made      in the USA (using USA and globally sourced components)

The stationary dial face remains readable while the spindle rotates, allowing the operator to observe indicator movement and make coordinated machine table adjustments with both hands free.

Applications

Blake Coaxial Indicators are commonly used for:

• Milling      machine setup
• Bore      centering
• Fixture      alignment
• Tool      and spindle alignment
• EDM      machine positioning
• Lathe      centering operations
• Precision      machining and inspection

How the Coaxial Indicator Works

The Blake Co-Ax Indicator operates as a centering device that measures offset from the spindle centerline. As the spindle rotates, the indicator hand movement decreases as alignment improves. When the indicator hand remains stationary, the workpiece is aligned with the spindle axis.

The indicator can be used with straight or curved feelers depending on internal or external diameter applications.

Built for Precision Machining

Blake Manufacturing has been producing precision centering instruments used in machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities for decades. The Blake 801 Coaxial Indicator is recognized throughout the machining industry for dependable performance and long service life.
