The STARRETT 83023 is a vinyl protective cover designed to fit Starrett inspection surface plates measuring 24 inches long by 18 inches wide. It shields precision ground surface plate faces from dust, debris, moisture, and accidental contact between uses, preserving the accuracy and finish that metrology work depends on.
