Starrett 64222 Carbide Height Gage Contact Point

Product Description

The STARRETT 64222 is a carbide contact point designed for use with height gages in precision measurement applications. Constructed from carbide, this contact point delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for accurate, repeatable surface measurements on machine tools, inspection tables, and layout work. At 13/16 inches in length, the 64222 provides consistent contact geometry for reliable gage readings. It is installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, and toolroom professionals who depend on precise linear measurement in manufacturing and inspection environments.

The 64222 is suited for height gage applications in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality inspection stations. It is intended for use with Starrett height gages and serves as a direct replacement or spare contact point for routine maintenance of precision measuring equipment. Its carbide construction is especially appropriate in high-cycle inspection environments where softer contact tips would wear prematurely.

Key Features

• Carbide construction for high hardness and extended service life under repeated contact
• 13/16 inch length for consistent reach and contact geometry
• Designed specifically for use with Starrett height gages
• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual replacement or stocking as a spare

Compatibility

Designed for use with Starrett height gages as stated by the manufacturer. Consult the Starrett height gage documentation to confirm thread size and contact point fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Contact points of this type are typically installed and replaced by machinists or metrology technicians during routine gage maintenance. Before replacing the contact point, ensure the height gage is removed from service and secured on a stable surface. Use the appropriate wrench or tool specified for the gage model to avoid damaging the threaded shank or contact tip. Handle carbide contact points with care, as carbide is hard but brittle and can chip if dropped on a hard surface.
