Proposal Information That Will Help The Starrett Special Gage Division Serve You
About The Part
- Ideally, an actual part accompanied by a marked-up print showing what characteristics and dimensions are to be gaged.
- We need the tolerance necessary for the dimensions affected, and these should be written near the dimensions.
- Gage-locating surfaces should be marked on the print.
- Show part orientation in the machine or on a bench. Indicate which end or axis of the part is vertical or horizontal.
- Obstructions such as clamps, arbors, fixtures, and unmachined stock that could interfere with the gage should be noted.
- Environmental conditions are a design consideration. Shop or laboratory adverse conditions such as abrasive dust, high temperature, or corrosive atmosphere affect gaging.
Note: Drawings can be supplied on company's prepared borders, reproducible paper, or by most of today's electronic transfer methods. You will need to supply company paper or CAD file and drafting requirements.
