Choose Your Starrett Range By Application

Starrett Measuring & Inspection Tools

For machinists, inspectors & quality teams, choosing the right instrument starts with identifying what dimension or condition actually needs to be checked.

The Starrett measuring family supports work such as:

► Outside dimensional measurement
► Internal measurement
► Comparative inspection
► Runout checking
► Machine alignment
► Bore measurement
► Layout & reference work
► Production inspection

Starrett | Measuring & Inspection Tools is the broad starting point for this side of the range while Starrett | Testers covers specialist checking applications including indicator-based inspection.

For extended internal measurement, Starrett | Bore Rods supports compatible inside-measuring systems where an ordinary instrument cannot span the required diameter.

The important question is not simply how accurate is the tool?

It is what are you measuring, across what range & by what method?

Starrett Machinists Tools

Machine shops need more than instruments that display dimensions.

Setup, marking, referencing & work positioning happen before useful measurements can be taken.

Starrett | Machinists Tools covers specialist workshop equipment for machinists, toolmakers, fitting departments & production environments.

Depending on the application, the broader Starrett machining setup can include:

► Surface gauges
► Edge finders
► V-blocks
► Sine bars
► Layout tools
► Squares
► Rules
► Workholding equipment
► Indicators & related inspection equipment

For supporting workholding requirements beyond the Starrett-specific range, Clamps & Vises provides additional workshop options.

Starrett Squares, Rules & Layout Equipment

A machining or fabrication error can begin with the first reference line.

Starrett's layout families provide different ways to establish distance, angle, square plus position before drilling, machining, cutting or assembly begins.

Starrett | Squares & Combination Sets supports square checking plus multi-purpose layout work.

Starrett | Rulers & Scales provides steel rules & scales in different graduation styles for measuring, marking plus transferring dimensions.

Starrett | Measuring Tapes extends measurement into longer workshop, construction plus field applications.

Select the tool around the reference:

► Distance – rule, scale or tape
► 90° relationship – square
► Horizontal reference – level
► Vertical reference – level or plumb bob depending on the task
► Transferred dimension – suitable rule, scale or measuring instrument

For broader layout equipment around these Starrett families, Measuring & Layout Tools provides complementary options.

Starrett Levels & Plumb Bobs

Horizontal level plus true vertical are related concepts, but the best tool depends on how the reference needs to be established.

Starrett | Levels covers equipment ranging from general level checking through to machinists' & precision levelling applications.

Starrett | Plumb Bobs provides a suspended gravity reference for vertical alignment plus point transfer.

For buyers specifically seeking Starrett's brass PBB design, Starrett | Solid Brass Plumb Bobs focuses on polished solid brass models with self-centring line attachment plus replaceable hardened steel points.

A level is often faster against an accessible surface.

A plumb bob becomes particularly useful where a point needs to be transferred vertically or the reference needs to hang independently beside the work.

Starrett Punches, Chisels & Fine Hand Tools

A centre mark only occupies a tiny area of the workpiece, but its position can influence the hole that follows it.

Starrett | Punches & Chisels serves workshop marking, fitting, pin work plus maintenance applications where controlled hand-tool contact matters.

Starrett also produces specialist fine-work equipment.

Starrett | Screwdrivers includes compact precision-oriented screwdrivers for small fasteners plus delicate bench work where control is more important than high fastening torque.

Typical users include:

► Toolmakers
► Instrument technicians
► Maintenance fitters
► Machinists
► Assembly technicians
► Workshop repair teams

Starrett Clamps & Workholding

The measurement can only be as useful as the setup allows.

Starrett | Clamps covers specialist workholding configurations for drilling, tapping, fitting, toolroom setup plus other controlled workshop tasks.

Rather than choosing solely by physical size, consider:

► Required jaw capacity
► Throat depth
► Workpiece geometry
► Available access
► Required holding force
► Whether the clamp interferes with the tool path

The objective is secure, controlled positioning without making the next operation harder to perform.

Starrett Holesaws & Accessories

For electricians, plumbers, builders, maintenance technicians plus fabricators, Starrett may be better known for cutting holes than measuring dimensions.

Starrett | Holesaws & Accessories brings together hole-cutting components for installation plus workshop work.

A complete setup may require:

► Hole saw
► Compatible arbor
► Pilot drill
► Suitable power tool
► Correct cutting diameter
► Appropriate cutter technology for the material

Starrett's wider cutting portfolio includes different cutter constructions because timber, sheet metal, stainless steel, masonry-related materials plus abrasive products do not create identical cutting conditions.

For the power-tool side of the setup, Heavy-Duty Power Tools provides a complementary Industrial Shed range.

Starrett General Purpose Hole Saw Kits

Buying individual cutters makes sense when one diameter dominates the workload.

A kit becomes attractive when the job regularly moves between several common sizes.

Starrett | General Purpose Kits groups selected hole saw sizes with compatible supporting components for portable installation plus maintenance work.

Before choosing a kit, look beyond piece count.

Compare:

► Included cutting diameters
► Cutter technology
► Arbor configuration
► Pilot arrangement
► Materials you regularly cut
► Replacement component availability

The strongest kit for a particular trade is the one containing sizes that actually leave the case.

Starrett Saws, Hacksaws, Knives & Blades

Cutting performance depends heavily on matching the blade to the material.

Starrett | Saws provides an entry point into the wider sawing range.

Starrett | Hacksaw & Blades focuses more closely on hacksaw-related cutting products while Starrett | Knives & Blades covers specialist knife plus blade applications.

Before selecting any replacement blade, verify:

► Material
► Material thickness
► Blade dimensions
► Tooth pitch where applicable
► Tool or frame compatibility
► Intended cutting method

For additional workshop cutting equipment around these products, Metal Cutting & Grinding Tools provides the fourth complementary collection pathway on this page.

Starrett Drill Bits

Hole making does not always require a hole saw.

Starrett | Drill Bits provides drilling products for applications where a conventional drilled hole is the appropriate approach.

Consider:

► Workpiece material
► Required diameter
► Hole depth
► Drill type
► Bit geometry
► Tool speed
► Lubrication or cutting-fluid requirements where applicable

A bit should be selected for the material plus operation rather than simply because its diameter is correct.

Starrett Tap Wrenches

Hand threading is an exercise in control.

Starrett | Tap Wrenches covers specialist Starrett tap-wrench configurations for holding taps, reamers, drills plus other compatible small tools.

Starrett's straight-handle plus T-handle formats suit different access plus leverage requirements.

Before choosing a tap wrench, check:

► Tap size
► Shank dimensions
► Square or round shank requirements
► Available clearance
► Required leverage
► Blind or through-hole application

Using more leverage than necessary can make a small tap easier to damage rather than easier to use.

Starrett Testers & Force Measurement

Some inspection tasks are dimensional.

Others ask how a component behaves under force.

Starrett | Testers covers specialist inspection equipment including indicator-related checking applications.

Starrett | Load Cells moves into force plus material testing for applications such as:

► Tension testing
► Compression testing
► Spring testing
► Break testing
► Pull testing
► Production verification
► Quality control

Load-cell selection should be based on the expected force range, test direction, fixture arrangement plus compatibility with the relevant test system.

Choosing the highest available capacity is not automatically the best approach for lower-force work.

Starrett Cables, Interfaces & Electronic Connections

An electronic measurement can become more useful when it reaches the inspection record without unnecessary manual transcription.

Starrett | Cables covers data connections for compatible Starrett electronic measuring instruments.

Starrett | Two-Port Computer Interfaces supports applicable wired measurement-data workflows while Starrett | Adaptors covers specialised connection requirements within compatible setups.

Starrett | Main Transformers provides another specialist component pathway for applicable Starrett equipment.

For these products, never select purely by connector appearance.

Verify:

► Main instrument model
► Existing part number
► Output type
► Required cable or adaptor
► Receiving equipment
► Software or interface requirements where applicable

Electronic measurement systems are combinations of compatible components rather than isolated accessories.

Starrett Universal Attachments & Accessories

Sometimes the measuring instrument is correct but its contact arrangement cannot reach the feature.

Starrett | Universal Attachments covers specialised components that can adapt compatible indicator setups for internal, restricted or differently oriented surfaces.

Starrett | Accessories provides a broader route into supporting components across applicable Starrett equipment.

Starrett | Lenses covers optical components for compatible inspection applications.

Replacement accessories should be selected from the main instrument outward:

identify the tool first, confirm its model then match the component to that system.

Starrett Lasers

Mechanical measurement remains essential, but some layout plus distance tasks benefit from an electronic reference.

Starrett | Lasers provides the dedicated route into Starrett laser-related measurement plus layout equipment.

Choose according to the application:

► Distance measurement
► Line projection
► Layout
► Alignment
► Indoor use
► Site use

A laser does not make traditional levels, rules or plumb bobs obsolete.

Each establishes a different type of reference.

Starrett Tool Storage & Cases

Precision equipment should not spend its working life loose beneath heavier hand tools.

Starrett | Tool Storage & Cases covers cases plus storage for suitable instruments, sets & specialist equipment.

Dedicated storage can help protect:

► Measuring faces
► Indicator contacts
► Adjustment mechanisms
► Electronic displays
► Fine points
► Accessories
► Complete measuring sets

Storage becomes particularly important for equipment that moves between an inspection room, machine shop, service vehicle plus site.

Starrett Tool Bags

A case protects the instrument.

A tool bag carries the working kit.

Starrett | Tool Bags provides portable Starrett storage for field technicians, maintenance teams plus tradespeople who need organised access away from a fixed workshop.

The two storage categories solve different problems, so some mobile setups can benefit from both: sensitive instruments remain protected in dedicated cases while the broader kit travels inside suitable portable storage.

How To Choose The Right Starrett Tool?

A part number is useful once you know what the job requires.

Until then, begin with the application.

Define the operation

Do you need to measure, inspect, mark, square, level, clamp, drill, cut, tap, test or transfer data?

Identify the work

Material, dimensions, access plus operating environment can immediately narrow the options.

Establish the required range

Measurement range, cutter diameter, blade size, clamp capacity or load-cell capacity needs to match the job.

Check the interface

For accessories, determine how the component connects to the main tool.

Confirm metric or imperial requirements

Starrett families can include metric, imperial plus different graduation formats.

Verify the exact model

Part numbers become especially important when replacing cables, attachments, measuring rods, blades, arbors, pilots plus electronic components.

That sequence reduces the risk of buying a component that looks right but does not belong in the intended setup.

Looking After Starrett Precision Equipment

Precision instruments need different treatment from general-purpose hand tools.

► Keep measuring faces clean
► Protect instruments from impact
► Avoid forcing mechanisms beyond their intended travel
► Keep swarf plus abrasive debris away from moving surfaces
► Store sensitive equipment in suitable cases
► Inspect tools after accidental drops
► Keep electronic connections clean
► Follow appropriate calibration or verification procedures for the application

A tool is not just a tool. It’s a promise. looks more broadly at why equipment condition matters when the finished work depends on it.
