Starrett 83029 Vinyl Surface Plate Cover 60x36 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 83029 is a vinyl inspection surface plate cover designed to protect precision surface plates from dust, debris, and accidental damage during storage or between measurement operations. Measuring 60 inches long by 36 inches wide, it fits over a standard full-size granite or cast iron surface plate. The black vinyl construction provides a durable, flexible barrier that resists tears and wipes clean easily. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control inspectors use this cover to extend the service life of their reference surfaces and maintain calibration integrity.

This cover is suited for use in machine shops, quality labs, toolrooms, and manufacturing inspection areas where surface plates are in regular use. The 60 by 36 inch footprint accommodates common full-size inspection surface plates found in both production and standards-room environments. It is particularly useful in environments with airborne particulates, metal chips, or coolant mist that can settle on and damage lapped plate surfaces.

Key Features

• Vinyl construction resists tearing and wipes clean with standard shop cloths
• 60 x 36 inch size fits full-size inspection surface plates
• Black color reduces glare and hides surface soiling between cleanings
• Flexible material drapes and conforms to plate edges without clamping hardware
• Protects lapped reference surfaces from dust, chips, and accidental contact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective cover for 60 inch by 36 inch granite or cast iron inspection surface plates used in precision metrology applications.

Installation Notes

No tools are required to place or remove this cover. Ensure the surface plate is clean and dry before covering to avoid trapping abrasive particles against the lapped surface. Remove the cover fully before any layout, measurement, or inspection work to prevent contamination of reference surfaces. Store the cover flat or rolled when not in use to prevent permanent creasing.
