Question

Which measuring method is used to examine the concentric alignment of a chuck mounted on a back plate?

The correct answer is

Using Dial indicator

Checking concentricity means measuring how much a surface runs out (wobbles) as the spindle is rotated.

A dial indicator, with its plunger set against the chuck's location surface, reads the total indicated run-out directly as the chuck is turned, revealing any eccentricity to a fraction of a millimetre.

Feeler gauges measure gaps, calipers measure size, and the eye cannot resolve such small run-out, so none of these can verify concentric alignment.

Hence, a dial indicator is used.
