Starrett 52798 Feeler Stock Roll 0.002 in Tempered Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 52798 is a tempered steel feeler stock roll used for precision gap measurement and clearance setting in maintenance, machining, and mechanical assembly work. The roll measures 0.002 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, with a total length of 25 feet, giving technicians ample material to cut custom-length feeler strips as needed. Tempered steel construction provides the rigidity and dimensional stability required for accurate readings. This format is well suited for shops and field technicians who need a continuous supply of feeler material rather than fixed-length blades.

Feeler stock rolls are commonly used by machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and diesel mechanics to check valve clearances, bearing fits, spark plug gaps, and other close-tolerance measurements. The 0.002-inch thickness makes this roll appropriate for extremely tight clearance checks where standard blade sets may not provide enough precision. It is suitable for both production shop use and field service applications requiring on-the-spot strip fabrication.

Key Features

• 0.002 inch thickness for tight-tolerance clearance and gap measurement
• 0.5 inch width accommodates a wide range of measurement surfaces
• 25-foot continuous roll allows custom-length strips to be cut as needed
• Tempered steel construction delivers consistent rigidity and dimensional accuracy
• Reduces the need to carry multiple fixed-length feeler blades on the job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose feeler stock roll suitable for use in machining, automotive, HVAC, and industrial maintenance applications where 0.002-inch clearance measurement is required.

Installation Notes

Cut strips to the required length using sharp metal shears or a bench-mounted cutter to maintain a clean, square edge. Handle cut edges carefully, as tempered steel strip edges can be sharp. No special tools are required beyond standard cutting equipment. Store unused roll material flat or loosely coiled to prevent permanent set or kinking.
