Frequently Asked Questions

How to store a Starrett magnetic base?

Starrett magnetic bases have an on/off switch. They can be stored "on", with the magnet attached to a metal surface, or "off", in a drawer or tool chest. Don't leave the base switched "on" without attaching it to a metal surface that will cause the magnet to weaken over time. Make sure the base doesn't get knocked over.

Why should one buy Starrett magnetic base?

Starrett magnetic base holder, paired with a dial indicator (or test indicator) can help you tackle common inspection jobs, like measuring runout or comparing parts to a master.

How to choose the right Starrett magnetic base?

Consider clamping force- A strong magnet ensures that nothing will move until the user wants it to. Clamping force, advertised in pounds, varies; so choose one that meets your needs, including the weight of the indicator you're planning on using.

What measures one should take to maintain Starrett dial indicators?

Keep your dial or test indicators in a dry place, away from the risk of being dropped. Keeping them covered, away from dust and moisture is a good practice.
