It covers a 2-inch measurement range with a graduation of 0.0001 inches and an accuracy of 0.000050 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance inspection work. The micrometer features a friction thimble for consistent measuring force and solid carbide measuring faces on both the anvil and spindle for extended wear resistance. A ring-style lock nut and included wrench allow the reading to be secured before removing the tool from the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis outside micrometer is used in applications requiring precise external dimensional checks on round stock, flat material, and machined components. It is well suited for quality control inspection, incoming material verification, and in-process measurement on manual or CNC machine setups. The solid carbide contact faces extend service life when measuring hardened or abrasive materials. Machinists, toolmakers, metrologists, and precision maintenance technicians are the primary users of this instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch measurement range with 0.0001-inch graduation for fine resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy of 0.000050 inches for close-tolerance inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide measuring faces on both anvil and spindle for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction thimble provides consistent, repeatable measuring force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing-style lock nut with included wrench for secure reading retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnamel finish on frame for corrosion and handling durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard outside micrometer for general-purpose external measurement applications across machine shop, fabrication, and industrial maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutside micrometers require no installation but should be calibrated against a known standard before use and stored in a protective case when not in service. Clean the anvil and spindle faces with a lint-free cloth before each use to prevent debris from affecting accuracy. Do not overtighten the thimble against the workpiece; rely on the friction thimble mechanism to apply consistent measuring force. Calibration and use should follow applicable metrology lab procedures or shop quality standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000050 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnvil Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThimble Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Nut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Face Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnvil Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpindle Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotating Spindle\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Counter\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Enamel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lock Nut, Wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarrett Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T436.1XFL-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 68007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538260099378,"sku":"68007","price":279.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7931002a15ae865c9372327bb65aa8c2.jpg?v=1785821130","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-68007-outside-micrometer-2-in-friction-thimble","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
