• Total measurement range of 0.107 to 0.266"
• Gradient spacing of 0.0001"
• For use with Starrett 82 probes
• Dial provides inch measurement readings
• Useful for controlling approach to tolerance without removing workpiece from a machine

The Starrett 82AB1 Head for Dial Bore Gauge has a measurement range of 0.107 to 0.266" and gradient spacing of 0.0001". This indicator is for use with Starrett 82 probes (sold separately). Measurement readings are in inches. This direct-measuring gauge head is useful for controlling approach to tolerance without removing the workpiece from a machine.

Bore gauges measure holes, or bores, in a workpiece. They can measure the interior diameter of a hole at any depth, while internal micrometers can only measure to the depth of their teeth. Bore gauges are typically calibrated with a setting ring and come in two types: simple and direct-measuring. Simple bore gauges are used with a caliper to transfer the hole measurement, while the more complex gauges take the measurement directly, and display it through a vernier, dial, or digital display. Bore gauges have a two- or three-point contact, indicating how many points on the gauge head touch the inside of the bore. Two-point contacts are better at measuring ovality, while three-point contacts are used to measure lobing or triangular form error. Pistol-grip bore gauges are used for fast, single-handed operation with repeatable results from one operator to another. Bore gauges can also be used in special applications, such as measuring threads, spline pitch diameters, and deep bores.

The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.
