Starrett 2mm Based Square Croblox Gage Block Set
The Starrett Square Croblox Gage Block Sets (2mm Based), 2mm Based sets are Metric sets that contain blocks that start close to 2mm in thickness. The sets are in Metric, available in accuracy grades Webber A1 - Grade 0 and Webber AA - Grade 00. Each set is supplied in a protective wooden case.
Precision gage blocks are the primary standards vital to dimensional quality control in the manufacture of parts. The four major characteristics that are necessary for a precision gage block are accuracy, surface finish, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Other factors are corrosion resistance, hardness, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of expansion.
The base material used for gage blocks is crucial in meeting the above criteria. While many materials have been tried, Starrett Webber offers the following gage block materials:
- Traditional high-grade steel gage blocks, which are generally used in shop floor environments
- Ceramic gage blocks will outwear regular steel and will not corrode
- Croblox Chromium Carbide gage blocks are considered the top of the line; the finest available; They outwear regular steel and ceramic; In addition, they will not corrode, are very stable and accurate, and have exceptional wringing qualities
