Starrett 67097 Blade Micrometer 9 to 10 Inches

Product Description

The STARRETT 67097 is a mechanical blade micrometer designed for measuring in tight slots, grooves, keyways, and other restricted spaces where a standard micrometer anvil cannot reach. It covers a measurement range of 9 to 10 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inches, giving machinists and metrologists the precision they need for close-tolerance work. The blade thickness is 0.03 inches, and the speeder thimble allows quick spindle travel for faster setup without sacrificing accuracy. The satin chrome finish reduces glare under shop lighting. This tool is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision measurement technicians in manufacturing and machine shop environments.

The 67097 is suited for precision measurement tasks in metal fabrication, tooling, and manufacturing quality control. Its slim blade profile allows access to narrow features such as keyways, slots, and recessed areas that standard outside micrometers cannot contact. The 5.8438-inch throat depth accommodates larger workpiece cross-sections, extending its usefulness beyond bench-top gauging to in-process inspection on the machine.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.03 inches for access to narrow slots and keyways
• Speeder thimble for quick and easy spindle adjustment
• 0.001-inch graduation for close-tolerance measurement
• Satin chrome finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
• Steel anvil and spindle for durability under shop conditions
• Includes wrench for field adjustments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision hand-measuring tool for general mechanical metrology applications requiring a blade-style contact face in the 9 to 10 inch measurement range.

Installation Notes

Blade micrometers are handheld precision instruments and require no installation. Handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to prevent corrosion from skin oils. Before use, verify calibration with a known standard and inspect blade faces for wear or damage. Store in the supplied case away from temperature extremes to maintain calibration stability.
