History

Laroy S. Starrett founded his company in Athol, MA in 1880 a year after he invented the combination square. The company was established initially to manufacture this single product but early success saw the product line steadily increase and this has resulted in a multi-national company which today produces in excess of 5,000 unique Precision Engineering tools, Measuring Apparatus, Gauges and Saw Blades which are used by Engineers the world over. The quality and precision of the Starrett tools has quite rightly earned it the title of "World's Greatest Toolmakers" It will come as no surprise then to know that nowadays Starrett 's range of inside, outside and depth Micrometers are recognized as amongst the finest in the world today allowing for a level of precision and accuracy which is second to none.

The Need For Accuracy When it comes to high quality engineering today, precision in measuring and cutting means everything. The level of accuracy required can only be achieved by the proper use of a highly specialized and manufactured set of tools, such as the Starrett Micrometers, which are always reliable and have the ability to measure the ever smaller distances now required in modern day engineering practice. Micrometers today are used to create extremely delicate objects such as medical devices and extra fine precision cutting tools which mean that the level of accuracy has to be nothing short of excellent. Micrometers commonly operate by use of a calibrated screw which is contained in a caliper. Nowadays many of these instruments are electronic which makes for a greater level of accuracy still as an electronic micrometer can remember and correct for errors and provide for better performance than a purely mechanical device. Such Micrometer's are capable of extremely fine and accurate adjustment to very exact measurements sometimes as close as one millionth of a millimeter.

Types of Micrometer Starrett micrometers come in all three types, outside micrometers which are used for measuring spheres and wire, inside micrometers which are used to measure the diameter of holes and depth micrometers which measure the depth of holes and slots. Nowadays micrometers are being manufactured from the very finest quality stainless steel which makes them extremely hard wearing which means that by purchasing a quality brand, such as Starrett, your micrometer should give you many years of faithful service.

Dial Indicators & Gauges High Quality Dial Indicators and Gauges are also manufactured by L.S. Starrett and a standard Starrett Dial indicator set contains up to three millimeter reading dial indicators which have a rugged and simple construction with a universal fitting design and one gear unit assembly. The dials have been manufactured with a non-reflecting white eggshell finish which makes them clear to read and able to handle most gauging jobs at a minimum cost. Dial gauges are often used to check consistency and approve accuracy in the manufacturing process of many organizations. Through a long and well established reputation for quality and precision Starrett micrometers, and other tools from the Starrett range, are used all over the world today and are essential for any products that need to be measured, cut, formed and assembled. They are used as an essential element of traditional industries such as metalworking, durable goods manufacture, and also in newer industries such as the aerospace, electronics and energy sectors.
