The magnetic application pointer and the gauge-holder extension are exclusively used in the mechanical field: their function is that of obtaining the zero defect piece, a compulsory task before doing any operation on the piece under processing on the same machine tool. To obtain the zero defect piece in mechanic means to reset the X and Y axis of a machine tool, for example a milling, in relation to the specific piece under process on the machine tool itself. Since this pointer makes use of a magnet, it can be utilized only on magnetic metals with plane surfaces; it is not possible to use it on round surfaces.
Such a pointer can be used only on machine tools both of old generation and on numeric control machine tools of new type, without any process of adaptation, as it is not fixed on the machine tools, but directly onto the piece under process by means of a magnet.
A specific description of how it works, can be found on the enclosures.

Innovative Aspects:
This pointer permits to obtain the zero defect piece having 0.005mm as the highest degree of possible failure, while other pointers allow a possible failure of 0.02mm.
Such an accurate zero defect piece is not always required, but when it is required in those industries which processes precise mechanical pieces, it is necessary to comply with a very small error tolerance.
