Built from solid granite, the base provides a stable, vibration-dampening foundation that resists thermal expansion and surface wear. The stand reaches 14 inches in overall height, with a 9-1\/4 inch post height and a rectangular base measuring 12 inches long by 8 inches wide by 2 inches high. A fine vertical adjustment mechanism allows the indicator holder to be positioned precisely and locked in place, ensuring repeatable readings across inspection cycles. A holder is included. No anvil or dial indicator is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comparator gage stand is suited for use in metrology rooms, inspection benches, and production-floor measurement stations where a rigid, flat-surface reference is required. The rectangular granite base integrates cleanly with surface plates and granite bench setups commonly found in precision inspection environments. Machinists and quality technicians handling part inspection, comparative measurement, and incoming goods verification will find this stand appropriate for stationary dial indicator and test indicator setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid granite construction resists wear, corrosion, and thermal distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFine vertical adjustment with positive lock for repeatable indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangular base at 12 inches x 8 inches x 2 inches provides a wide, stable footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 inches overall height accommodates a broad range of workpiece heights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes indicator holder — no additional mounting hardware required for initial setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not include anvil or dial indicator, allowing use with preferred measurement instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style granite base stand for comparator gage applications; consult STARRETT documentation for compatible dial indicators and holder accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is handled by quality technicians and metrologists — no power tools or electrical shutoff is required. Position the stand on a clean, level surface plate or bench surface free of chips and debris before mounting an indicator. Secure the holder at the desired height using the fine adjustment and locking mechanism before taking readings. Do not drag the granite base across abrasive surfaces, as granite edges can chip under lateral impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStand Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comparator Gage Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Granite\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Anvil\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Dial Indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56646\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540991377714,"sku":"56646","price":1245.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c29cf2a21d5754afda6d958e95a650b8.jpg?v=1785867063","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-56646-comparator-gage-stand-granite-base-14in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
