User questions & answers

Question:	is this item waranteed
Answer:	i cant' remember. I have had mine at least a year. That is probably the extent of any warranty. It is a well made product; accurate, too. I can recommend it.
Question:	Does this caliper have the ability to lock at a specific size? I see a little knob under the dial, is that to lock the size down so that it wont move
Answer:	I believe that the knob under the dial is to allow calibration by moving the dail face. There is a knob at approximately the 1:30 position that allows you to lock a specific size in. You can't see the knob in Amazon's picture. I've taken a picture for you but I haven't been able to figure out how to paste it into this reply.
Question:	Where is this manufactured? Anyone know
Answer:	This is manufactured in China.
Question:	does it state anywhere if the stainless is hardened
Answer:	Yes, it is stamped on the caliper "stainless steel hardened"

User questions & answers

Question:	does your caliper say "shock proof" in the dial? I just got mine, and and it does not say shock proof anywhere on it
Answer:	I bought the caliper when we were at our home in Tampa FL and left it there so I can't look at the dial, but I do not remember it saying shockproof.I am satisfied with the operation and accuracy of the instrument. Do you mean electrically shockproof? It is metal and surely if exposed to a wire with voltage on it you could be shocked. If you are worried about the utility of the tool in a rough physical environment I would say it is fairly shockproof that way. Does the product description say it is "shockproof". And even if so it would not necessarily have to have that written or stamped on the instrument.
Question:	Country of Manufacture? Think Amazon would get the clue to put this info on the product description
Answer:	Really? That isn't even necessary any more. There is very little doubt that it's made "in Asia" (the actual country being both immaterial and ambiguous) just like everything else in your life is made "in Asia" because people in North America and Europe are too greedy to work for small paychecks. Even those very rare things that are final-assembled in North America are built entirely of parts made somewhere in Asia, from Asian raw materials..
Question:	is anyone able to shed some light on what this tool's resolution might be? nothing is listed on this page by the manufacturer
Answer:	The scale is in 0.001 inches or 0.02 mm, so you should be able to read anything to the nearest thousandth of an inch or 2 hundredth of a millimeter.
Question:	Are these accurate and durable? How's the quality of construction
Answer:	An excellent buy for the money and well built. And yes they are accurate. Like any precision tool, they need to be handled carefully and kept clean. I've had mine for several months and having 40 plus years experience in machine shop, would recommend them. Are they as precision as a high end Mitotoyo? Probably not, but they don't cost $200 plus. So and excellent buy for the money.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit the base of a grizzly g0555lx 14inch bandsaw
Answer:	10 inches long by 4 inches wide by approximately an inch and a quarter tall.
Question:	Can I upgrade to 4" or 5" poly casters? will they fit without hitting the frame
Answer:	I contacted Starrett about this and got a definitive answer. One spot is for the PT22431 Depth Attachment. The other is for if you use this case to hold a 120JZ-6 Offset Dial Caliper. The top jaw is removable on that model to fit in the case, and the second slot is for that top jaw when it is removed.
Question:	How do I obtain a replacement swivel caster for your D2057A shop fox on which the outer wheel casing has crumbled after 7 years
Answer:	I use it a lot and it is the best I have found so far and the battery holds for a long time, I do take the battery out of caliper after use, batteries do slowly train when left in electronic circuits, slow but have found I get longer use.
Question:	What is the hole spacing on the caster mounting plates
Answer:	It should be calibrated every time. All you need to do is close the jaws and press the zero button. I sometimes check mine with a known item like my digital scale weight. It’s length doesn’t change at all. Excellent tool and if you really doing something super precise, go with a dial type and calibration rods.
