Starrett 67096 Blade Micrometer 8 to 9 Inches Mechanical

Product Description

The STARRETT 67096 is a mechanical blade micrometer designed for measuring in narrow slots, grooves, keyways, and other hard-to-reach features that standard anvil micrometers cannot access. It covers a measurement range of 8 to 9 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inches, providing precise readings without a digital readout. The blade thickness measures 0.03 inches, allowing it to reach into tight spaces where conventional measuring tools cannot seat properly. A speeder thimble enables quick spindle adjustment, reducing setup time during layout and inspection work. The satin chrome finish resists glare and corrosion in shop environments. A wrench is included for lock nut adjustment.

This micrometer is suited for machinists, toolmakers, and precision measurement technicians working in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments. It is used when inspecting shaft keyways, narrow relief cuts, undercuts, and similar features on workpieces in the 8 to 9 inch range. The mechanical operation requires no battery or data output connection, making it reliable for bench use and field inspection alike.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use blade micrometer for precision measurement applications requiring a measurement range of 8 to 9 inches with a 0.03 inch blade profile.

Installation Notes

Blade micrometers are used by machinists and precision measurement technicians and do not require installation in a mechanical system. Before use, clean the blade anvil and spindle faces with a lint-free cloth to remove debris that could affect accuracy. Calibrate or verify the micrometer against a known standard before beginning a measurement series. Store in the provided case when not in use to protect the blade faces from damage.
