Starrett 52802 Thickness Gage Feeler Stock 0.005 in 25 Ft

Product Description

The STARRETT 52802 is a tempered steel feeler stock thickness gage roll from the Starrett 666 Series, designed for precision gap and clearance measurement across a wide range of trade and manufacturing applications. The roll measures 0.005 inches thick and 0.50 inches wide, wound in a 25-foot length and housed in a rewindable dispenser case for controlled, cut-to-length use in the field or shop. Straight-leaf stock is manufactured from tempered steel for consistent thickness, flatness, and durability across repeated use. Machinists, mechanics, and technicians rely on this format when checking tight tolerances where individual feeler blades are impractical.

This feeler stock roll is widely used in automotive, aviation, diesel engine, and farm equipment manufacturing and service. It is also a standard material in jig, fixture, gage, and experimental work where custom-length strips are needed. The rewindable dispenser case allows technicians to pull and cut only the length required for the job, reducing waste and keeping the remaining stock protected and clean. Applications include checking valve clearances, setting ignition points, measuring bearing play, and verifying gap tolerances on machined assemblies.

Key Features

• Tempered steel construction for consistent 0.005-inch thickness along the full roll length
• 25-foot roll provides ample stock for multiple jobs or custom-cut strips
• 0.50-inch width suits standard gap and clearance measurement tasks
• Rewindable dispenser case keeps stock clean and allows controlled dispensing
• Straight-leaf profile for flat, accurate seating in parallel gaps

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose feeler stock roll suitable for automotive, aviation, diesel, and farm equipment service as well as jig, fixture, gage, and experimental applications requiring 0.005-inch tempered steel shim or feeler material.

Installation Notes

Cut the required length from the dispenser roll using metal shears or a sharp utility knife on a firm surface. Ensure the cut edges are clean and free of burrs before use, as edge deformation can affect measurement accuracy. No special tools are required for field use, but standard metal-working safety practices apply when cutting hardened steel stock. Store the dispenser case away from moisture to prevent corrosion of the tempered steel stock.
