• 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-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 by 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. 196 Test Indicators can be mounted using Starrett snugs, Part Nos. PT99439 or PT99440 (snugs not furnished)
• Also furnished with the gage is the No. 657J Gage-Holding Rod to accommodate the Starrett No. 715-1 Gaging Head when the Transfer Gage is used with the No. 715 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 be used on the height gage by means of a No. 657J 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
