About Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Spring Steel, and Cast Iron

Starrett High-Accuracy Combination Squares

Replace your try square, miter square, depth gauge, height gauge, center-point finder, and level. The blade on these squares meets Fed. Spec. GGG-R-791H, which establishes uniform standards for accuracy, graduations, and size. Blades are labeled with numeric increments that are less than 1" for quick reading. All have wear-resistant etched markings.

Square head checks 90° angles. Center head identifies the center on pipes, rods, and shafts. Protractor head measures angles.

Satin-chrome blade finish is corrosion resistant and reduces glare.

Easy-to-Machine Gray Cast Iron Sheets and Bars

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Rockwell C20 (Hard)
Heat Treatable: Yes
Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C50
Specifications Met: ASTM A247

Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It also absorbs vibration, so finished parts run quieter than those made of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, and bushings.

Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ACTIVITY after your order ships.

Multi-Plane Precision Levels with Calibration Certificate

Square

These levels come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. They are precision-machined and check the accuracy of both horizontal and vertical surfaces simultaneously with two highly sensitive vials set at 90° angles.

V-groove provides stability on curved surfaces.
