HEIGHT GAGES Altissimo® Electronic Height Gages - STARRETT - #1

Text version of the page

�Ÿ Starrett Height Gages come in a variety of styles, sizes, readouts and accuracies to suit individual needs. �Ÿ Accuracies range from .000050 and 0.001mm on our Digi-Chek® Series to .001 and 0.03mm on our dial and vernier height gages. �Ÿ Standard height measurements are available to 85 or 2150mm. Higher measuring tools are available through the Special Order Department. �Ÿ Height Gages are normally used on a known flat surface such as our Granite Surface Plates (see Granite Surface Plate Section), where the work to be measured is brought to the plate. �Ÿ Some applications require the use of a height gage on a vertical plane. We offer practical lightweight tools such as our Nos. 751, 250, and 255 Series for these situations. �Ÿ All of our bases are hardened, ground, and lapped except the No. 252 base, which is not hardened. If these bases are moved rapidly on an extremely flat plate, there may be a tendency to “hum”, since the two surfaces try to “wring” together. When the gage is brought to the work, it is a good practice to be sure the two surfaces are clean and to move the gage slowly. HEIGHT GAGES
