That gage is in very nice condition and has beautiful color case hardening. Even Starrett doesn't make them like that now. That was once an industrial finish, not any more...
Yea, the new ones are blackened or enameled, and don't even have the ball at the top of the spindle anymore. Considering Starrrett wants $266 for a new one, it makes you wonder what you are really paying for these days.
I have one like it but the name is on the rod with the ball on top same name and made in same city. did not what it was used for or how it was used no model no. that I can find. my educ. for this day thanks gotogojo
That makes three of us , surface gauge hmm, do u slide it around on a surface plate or somthing , or it looks like u could use it to scribe a line on somthing useing a surface plate.?.
Or by using the pins, run an indicator along the edge of a piece to indicate it parallel the T Slots on a mill. (the pins drop down into either a T slot or the front of the table)
