When you're working with curved surfaces, irregular shapes, or rounded components, getting accurate measurements can be a challenge. That's where the Starrett Micrometer Ball Attachment comes in - engineered specifically to solve this common measurement dilemma with precision and ease.
This hardened steel ball attachment measures precisely .200" in diameter, providing the perfect contact point for curved surfaces that would otherwise be difficult to measure accurately. The ball moves freely within its retainer, ensuring positive contact with both the anvil and spindle of your micrometer. This design innovation eliminates measurement errors caused by improper positioning on non-flat surfaces.
Time is valuable in any workshop, which is why Starrett designed this attachment for quick application. Simply snap it onto the end of either your anvil or spindle - no tools required. The attachment fits securely but can be removed just as easily when you need to return to standard flat-surface measurements. For even more versatility, you can use two attachments together when measuring complex curved objects from multiple angles.
Starrett has been setting the standard for precision measurement tools for over 140 years. Made in the USA with globally sourced materials that meet the brand's exacting quality standards, this ball attachment embodies the company's commitment to accuracy, reliability, and durability. Whether you're in an industrial setting, professional workshop, or serious hobbyist garage, you can trust that this tool will deliver consistent, accurate measurements time after time.
