Micrometers
-
In the hands of a skilled operator, the precision micrometer is the most accurate hand-held tool available. When close measurements are necessary, the micrometer is the ideal tool for the job because measurement and reading are on the same axis and the anvil end is supported by a strong frame.

Height Gages
-
Used from a flat surface such as a Starrett granite surface plate, height gages measure the distance from the reference surface to some feature of a part, and can do so with exceptional accuracy. accuracy. Starrett offers a full range of height gages. Our Altissimo advanced electronic height gage is rich in features and exceptionally accurate. gages are available with a choice of range and feature sets. Our vernier height gages are still preferred by many for their exceptional accuracy. For the highest level of accuracy, we offer DIGI-CHEK gages. These tools are typically used in combination with the various scribes, attachments and accessories available from Starrett to complete the inspection work.

Depth Gages
-
Depth needs to be measured in many situations – sometimes by simply putting a precision rule into a hole or slot and determining a measurement by eye. For higher levels of precision, Starrett offers Depth Micrometers. a choice of products varying in form, complexity, cost and accuracy. The most accurate are depth micrometers (electronic, dial and vernier) and dial indicator depth gages. electronic depth gage variations are available, with or without coolant protection, and optional data output. They offer very good accuracy as do dial and vernier depth gages. Less complex and precise tools, rule gages and combination rule gages are also available. precise tools, rule gages and combination rule gages are also available.

Indicators & Gages
-
Indicators are precise gages that visually show movement, typically in very small increments. Among many applications, they are used on fixtures for repetitive inspection or attached to a machine for adjustment. Starrett offers a variety of each of the major classes; mechanical dial, electronic display, lever style test and back plunger. Each type has its own unique strengths. Electronic indicators can output data. Analog dial indicators are easy to comprehend visually. Indicator requirements are very specific and Starrett offers everything you need a broad line of each indicator type, an extensive range of accessories to configure and position the gage, and as needed, an indicator-based, custom engineered solution. Resolution varies from 0.001" to 0.00005".

Bore Gages
-
Bore gages measure inside hole diameter with high accuracy. The operator turns a knob or releases a trigger to simultaneously extend the contacts outward until the wall is touched by all contacts. Bore gages are selected by measurement range, depth, accuracy requirements and number of contacts (two or three). Some are available with interchangeable measuring heads, different diameters, and extensions for depth. They can have electronic displays (data output options), micrometer-type vernier scales or a dial (similar to an indicator). The Starrett line of bore gages is extensive, with products available for a broad range of applications.

Data Collection Systems
-
Data collection is an increasingly important part of manufacturing, and one of the main drivers in the movement toward electronic measuring tools with output. At the top of the Starrett line, DataSure Wireless Data Collection is a state-of-the-art system for real-time collection and recording of measurement data. transmission. From measurement to input, it reduces steps, saves time and can totally eliminate error in the data collection process. Starrett also offers several newer technology products for wire-based data collection; SmartCable for single tools and the 4-Port Gage Multiplexer.

Hardness & Surface Roughness Testers
-
The hardness or texture (roughness) of a surface can be important to the performance or usage of a component for a variety of reasons. Starrett has added to and updated its tester line significantly in recent years. Our bench hardness testers range from relatively simple analog models to electronic versions with broad capabilities. We also offer several portable hardness testers, new surface roughness testers, an electronic durometer, an ultrasonic thickness gage and a full range of test blocks and accessories.

Hole Gages
-
Hole gages help determine the diameter of a hole. While their function is similar to bore gages, they are less precise, much simpler tools that require measurement of a transferred dimension. We offer several varieties of small hole gage sets as well as telescoping gages for larger holes. Our taper gages are inserted into a hole or slot, with the diameter determined by the reading on the scale. tool’s etched scale.
