Starrett 52823 Feeler Stock Roll 0.0012 in Tempered Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 52823 is a tempered steel feeler stock roll used for precision gap measurement and clearance checking in mechanical and industrial service work. At 0.0012 inches thick, this roll stock is suited for applications requiring very fine tolerance verification. The material is tempered steel, providing consistent thickness and resistance to deformation across the full length of the roll. Machinists, millwrights, and service technicians use feeler stock rolls when a standard feeler gauge set does not offer the exact thickness needed or when custom-length strips must be cut to fit a specific application.

This feeler stock roll is appropriate for use in settings where precise gap measurement is required, such as checking valve clearances, bearing fits, and mating surface tolerances on mechanical equipment. The roll format allows the technician to cut strips to the needed length, making it flexible for both bench work and field service. At 7.60 meters in overall length and 12.70 mm (approximately 0.50 inches) in width, the roll provides enough material for repeated use across multiple jobs.

Key Features

• 0.0012 inch (0.03 mm) thickness for fine-tolerance gap measurement
• Tempered steel construction maintains consistent thickness and resists bending
• 7.60 meter overall length provides ample stock for multiple applications
• 12.70 mm width allows easy strip cutting to required dimensions
• Roll format supports custom-length strips for varied fitment needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose feeler stock roll suitable for use in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial maintenance applications where 0.0012 inch clearance measurement is required.

Installation Notes

Cut strips to the required length using appropriate metal shears or snips rated for thin gauge steel. Handle edges carefully after cutting, as tempered steel strip edges can be sharp. Ensure the equipment being measured is powered down and de-energized before inserting feeler stock into any gap. Dispose of used or deformed strips rather than re-measuring with bent stock, as deformation affects accuracy.
