Starrett End Measuring Rod with Insulating Rubber Handle

The Starrett End Measuring Rod with Insulating Rubber Handle is a micrometer setting standard, also called an end measuring rod or micrometer standard. It is used to check and set micrometers of 2" capacity and larger. Machinists and inspectors also use it on machine tools to compare gages, check precision measuring tools, and measure parallel surfaces.

Key Features:

• Tool steel construction: Made of special tool steel in rod form for durability and lasting precision.
• Hardened, lapped ends: The ends are hardened and accurately lapped to a spherical radius.
• Insulating rubber handle: The handle gives a comfortable grip. It also helps limit heat expansion from the heat of your hand, which supports consistent readings.
• Versatile use: These are the same standards Starrett supplies with its micrometers. They also work for gage comparison and general precision inspection.
• Made in the USA: Built by Starrett, a precision tool maker with a history dating back to 1880.

This product line is a good fit for machine shops, tool rooms, and quality control or calibration labs. Each rod in the line has the same insulated-handle design and spherical-end geometry.
