Sag Test
The Sag Test is used to measure the amount
of deection that a dial indicator bracket will un-
dergo at a given distance under its own weight.
This determines the sag tolerance of a given
dial indicator set up.
1. Assemble a dial indicator set up similar to
the one which will be used during the align-
ment procedure and place it on a length of
suitable metal stock. Set the indicator to
zero.

the entire set up 180° (turn it upside down).
3. Record the amount of deection measured
on the indicator. It will read as a negative
number.
