Visit Starrett's Site for their Full Line of Precision Tools & Gages

Starrett, founded in 1880, manufactures more than 5,000 variations of Precision Tools, Gages, Measuring Instruments and Saw Blades.

Headquartered in Athol, MA, in the heart of New England, the words "quality" and "Starrett" are virtually synonymous.

The company employs 2,800 people worldwide, with approximately half of them based in the Athol plant. Starrett is the last remaining full line precision tool company to be proudly manufacturing their products within the U.S.A.

The broad Starrett product line includes precision tools (micrometers, calipers, rules, etc.), tape measures, levels, electronic gages, dial indicators, gage blocks, granite surface plates, optical measuring projectors, vision systems, coordinate measuring machines, vises, M1 lubricant, and precision ground flat stock.

Starrett tools are essential for inspecting and cutting an endless number of products that are measured, cut, formed or assembled.

In addition to tools, Starrett is also a prominent leader in saw blade products, having an impressive line of band saw blades, hacksaws, hole saws, and jig and reciprocating blades. There are blades available to cut anything from metal and wood to exotic space age materials.

By far the largest consumer of Starrett tools is the metalworking industry in general, and more specifically the automotive, aviation, marine and appliance industries, farm equipment shops, machinists, "do-it-yourselfers" and professional tradesmen.

In addition to Athol, there are manufacturing plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Brazil, Scotland, England, Puerto Rico and Canada. Also, there are sales/warehouse branch offices in the U.S. - Chicago, Arizona and one in Canada (Toronto).

At Starrett, making quality products is more than a job - it's a way of life - making it no wonder that the Starrett brand name is arguably the strongest in the metalworking/industrial marketplace today.
