Starrett 83021 Vinyl Surface Plate Cover 18x12 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 83021 is a vinyl cover designed to protect flat inspection surface plates from dust, debris, and accidental contact. Surface plates are precision reference tools used in quality control and layout work, and keeping them covered when not in use helps preserve their flatness and surface integrity. This cover measures 18 inches long by 12 inches wide and is constructed from vinyl, making it easy to wipe clean and quick to place or remove. It is a standard shop accessory for metrology benches in manufacturing, fabrication, and inspection environments.

This cover is suited for use over 18-inch by 12-inch surface plates commonly found in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and quality inspection labs. It is typically used in settings where surface plates remain on the bench between measurements and need protection from airborne particulates, coolant mist, or accidental tool contact. Inspectors, machinists, and QC technicians are the primary users.

Installation Notes

No tools or fasteners are required to place this cover. Simply lay the cover flat over the surface plate when the plate is not in use. Ensure the surface plate is clean and dry before covering to avoid trapping abrasive particles against the reference surface. Remove the cover before performing any measurement or layout work.
