Skoots Universal Crankshaft Truing Stand

Skoots Universal Crankshaft Truing Stand

Dial in any crankshaft with this purpose-built truing stand designed for quick setup, repeatable readings, and rock-solid stability.

This universal version keeps the same design as the original Skoots truing stand, but adds three different setup configurations so you can support crankshafts of virtually any size and store it away in one piece.

Why it’s awesome…..

• True, repeatable readings: Dual sealed ball bearing rollers provide ultra-smooth rotation.
• Zero-drift indicator placement: Integrated steel mounting plates let you lock your dial indicator’s magnetic base in place so it won’t creep mid-measurement. (Indicator sold separately)
• Universal fitment: Use the stand in three different configurations to accommodate short, long, narrow, or wide crankshafts.
• Shop-stable measurements: Non-slip, anti-vibration silicone feet keep the stand planted and reduce vibration for cleaner readings.
• Low, rigid footprint: Keeps the crank low and stable on your bench for easy, ergonomic access while you true.

Perfect for

• Measuring TIR (total indicated runout) on main journals, crank webs, and pins
• Truing pressed cranks after rebuilds
• Verifying crank alignment before assembly to protect cases, bearings, and seals
• Working on trucks, cars, motorcycles, or anything that needs truing
