Starrett - Height Gages

The Starrett No. 252 Height Transfer Gage is an ideal instrument for use with test indicators or electronic amplifiers to accurately transfer height settings from gage blocks, height gages and other standards.

Accuracy and Long-Life Features

• Extreme rigidity provides the vibration-proof stability necessary to permit precise, repeat readings with indicators of the highest amplification
• Extremely rigid, rectangular box-type hollow column mounted integrally on a heavy base
• Because the adjusting mechanism is located in the base, the vertical column and indicator are isolated and not affected by an external influence such as heat or hand pressure

Ease-of-Operation Features

• Hand-fitting base design for sure-grip handling and easy movement
• Bottom of the base has three ground and lapped pads for three-point stability and smooth movement on the surface plate
• An adjustable slide, incorporating a snug for holding test indicators or electronic gage heads, has rapid vertical manual adjustment
• The slide can be locked at the desired height by a thumb screw
• The entire slide unit has fine vertical adjustment of approximately 3/8" (9.5 mm) relative to the fixed column by means of a knob on the base. This permits the slide with its test indicator to be quickly and precisely adjusted to the desired setting

Tool and Gaging Holders

• A snug on the slide provides two holes .375" (9.5 mm) and .156" (4 mm) diameter for holding gage rods or scribers. A 9" (225 mm) rod furnished with the gage is especially useful for reaching confined areas or reaching heights greater than the range of the gage
• The rod has a major diameter of .375" (9.5 mm) and two stepped diameters of 1/4" (3.2 mm) and 7/32" (5.5 mm) at one end and 5/16" (8 mm) at the opposite end. Starrett No. 708 and 709 Test Indicators can be mounted on tthis rod using Starrett No. PT22428 clamp. Starrett No. 196 Test Indicators can be mounted using Starrett snugs, Part Nos. PT18718 or PT18724 (snugs not furnished)
• Also furnished with the gage is the No. PT06784-A Gage-Holding Rod to accommodate the Starrett No. 715-1 Gaging Head when the Transfer Gage is used with the No. 717 Electronic Gage. A convenient wire retaining clip mounted on the movable slide keeps electronic gage head cables from deflecting the gage-holding rod
• Starrett No. 25, No. 81, No. 655 and No. 656 Series Dial Indicators also can be used on the height gage by means of a No. PT06784-A Gage Rod (furnished). Other useful attachments (extra) are Starrett surface gage spindles [No. 57C or No. 57D, 12" (300 mm) and 18" (450 mm)] - which are extremely useful for scribing and layout
