Starrett 700B Vernier Inside Micrometre, Calliper Type, 1-2" Range, 0.001" Graduation, +/-0.0002" Accuracy

The Starrett 700 series internal groove Vernier inside micrometre has calliper-type jaws and a Vernier scale in inch units for taking precise inside dimension (ID) measurements. The micrometre is made of high-grade tool steel, with hardened and ground jaws for accuracy. A knurled friction thimble helps provide quick adjustment capability. The Vernier scale is graduated to 0.001” and a locking clamp helps hold measurements in place. The micrometre has a satin chrome rust- and glare-resistant finish. Micrometres are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure small distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometres are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometre: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometres may also be called micrometre callipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometres are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometres measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.
