Big Daishowa Adds 2 Upgrades to Measurement Portfolio

Big Daishowa has added two upgrades to its Base Master measuring devices. The first upgrade spans the lineup and replaces a single LED indicator with a 360-degree light, making it easy for operators to see contact from any orientation. In addition, the Base Master Mini is now available with a side handle that makes it easier to negotiate limited-access lathes.

It is said the Base Master Mini’s compact design makes it fast and easy to use while providing extremely accurate results. With a standard height of only 20 mm (0.787"), it’s well suited for small Swiss lathes and tight spaces. 

The Base Master lineup is used with various types of machines and materials, including nonconductive cutting tools, workpieces and machine tools. Users can quickly measure workpiece offsets, tool lengths and cutting edges with zero risk of damage or breakage at submillimeter levels, when needed. For maximum flexibility in real-world conditions, the Base Master series offers tight repeatability of only ±0.001 mm and solid magnetic bases that mount vertically, horizontally or at any angle.
