Starrett 68044 Outside Micrometer Set 0-6 in 6 Pc

Product Description

The STARRETT 68044 is a 6-piece mechanical outside micrometer set covering a measurement range of 0 to 6 inches in 1-inch increments. Each micrometer features a ratchet stop thimble for consistent, repeatable measuring force and solid carbide measuring faces for extended wear resistance. The set ships in a fitted case and carries a satin chrome finish for corrosion resistance and legibility. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision metrology technicians rely on outside micrometer sets like this for accurate OD measurements on shafts, stock, and machined components across a broad size range.

This set is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where multiple outside diameter ranges are required without swapping spindle anvils. The 6 individual micrometers span 0 to 1 inch through 5 to 6 inches, making the set practical for general-purpose dimensional inspection on both raw stock and finished parts. The fitted case keeps instruments organized and protected between uses.

Key Features

• 6-piece set covers 0 to 6 inches in 1-inch range increments
• Ratchet stop thimble provides consistent measuring pressure for repeatable readings
• Solid carbide measuring faces resist wear on hardened and abrasive workpieces
• Satin chrome finish reduces glare and improves scale readability
• Includes fitted protective case for storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose outside micrometer set for standard inch-based dimensional measurement applications in machine shop and industrial metrology settings.

Installation Notes

Outside micrometers require no installation but should be calibrated against a known standard before first use and periodically during service. Store instruments in the provided case away from temperature extremes and cutting fluids. Cleaning measuring faces with a lint-free cloth before and after use extends carbide face service life. Calibration and use should follow applicable metrology standards for the application.
