Starrett Differential Micrometers

Starrett micrometers are recognized worldwide for precision and durability. Differential micrometers provide:

• Ultra-fine resolution (typically 0.0001 inch or better)

• Minimal backlash

• Repeatable positioning

• Long-term stability

The presence of Starrett micrometers on this mount significantly enhances its value for precision alignment applications.

Missing Lens Holder Note

One of the plastic lens holders is missing. This component:

• Is used to secure optics in the mount

• Can potentially be replaced with a custom-fabricated part

• Does not affect the mechanical operation of the gimbal or micrometers

• Reduces the mount’s “plug-and-play” readiness but does not impact its precision adjustment capability

Buyers should be prepared to either replace the missing holder or use alternative methods to secure optics.
