AM Construction's New Dial Gage Promises Precision for Every Build
AM Construction LLC, based in Olympia, Washington, has always been about building things right. We’re a family-owned company – PO Box 257, Olympia, WA, 98507-0257, you can reach us at 260-609-5699 – and for years, we've been quietly solving construction challenges with practical, reliable solutions. We don't just sell construction materials; we use them on our own projects first. That means anything we offer has been field-tested and proven to hold up. Recently, we’ve been getting a ton of requests for a seriously accurate and durable dial indicator gage, and after months of tweaking and testing, we're thrilled to finally launch our own – it's a game-changer for anyone who needs to measure with confidence. Why a Good Dial Gage Matters – And What We Saw Was Missing Look, we’ve been there. You’re trying to line something up just right, making sure everything’s perfectly aligned. Maybe it’s a machine part, a shaft, a bearing, or even just making sure a piece of framing is square. You grab your dial indicator, and… it's wobbly, the reading jumps around, or worse, it's just plain off. That's a waste of time, money, and a whole lot of frustration. We kept running into this issue on our own construction and repair work. Existing options were either flimsy, overly complicated, or just didn't offer the level of precision we needed for tasks like aligning heavy machinery, checking runout on rotating parts, or even ensuring perfect level on critical builds. “We needed something that could take a beating on a job site and still give us a rock-solid reading,” says Mark Johnson, head of engineering at AM Construction. “That’s why we decided to build our own. We wanted something tough, easy to read, and, most importantly, accurate – every single time.” Introducing the AM Construction Dial Gage: Built to Last, Designed to Perform This isn’t your typical dial indicator. We've taken everything we learned from years in the field and packed it into a single, rugged tool. Here's what makes it different: Heavy-Duty Construction: Forget flimsy plastic. We're talking a hardened steel body, built to withstand the bumps, drops, and grime of a real work environment. This isn't something you need to baby. Precision Accuracy: We're talking 0.001” (0.025mm) resolution. That’s the kind of precision that separates good work from great work. Whether you're a machinist, a mechanic, a construction pro, or a serious DIYer, this gage will deliver. Easy-to-Read Dial: A large, clear dial with bold markings makes it easy to get readings quickly and accurately, even in low-light conditions. No more squinting or second-guessing. Magnetic Base Option: We offer a strong magnetic base option for hands-free operation on ferrous metal surfaces. This is a game-changer for aligning machine parts or checking runout without needing a separate stand. Versatile Mounting: The gage features a standard 8mm stem, so it’s compatible with a wide range of mounting accessories and fixtures. Durable Packaging: It doesn’t just perform well; it's shipped in a protective case to keep it safe during transport and storage. More Than Just a Tool – It's Peace of Mind We understand that your reputation is on the line with every project. That’s why we’ve gone above and beyond to ensure the AM Construction Dial Gage delivers consistent, reliable performance. “We've put this gage through rigorous testing, including drop tests, vibration tests, and accuracy checks at various temperatures,” explains Sarah Miller, AM Construction's quality control manager. “We’re confident it will stand up to the demands of even the most challenging jobs.” Who Can Benefit from the AM Construction Dial Gage? This gage isn’t limited to just one industry. Here are a few examples of how it can be used: Machinists: Precise alignment of machine tools, checking runout, and ensuring dimensional accuracy. Mechanics: Measuring bearing play, aligning shafts, and checking brake rotors. Construction Professionals: Aligning machinery, checking plumb and square, and ensuring structural integrity.
