Hi Jon,
I couldn't seem to find the Starrett site. Could you post it for me,
please.
I imagine the guage is the one they had for tuning pin, and centre pin
sizes.
I lost the one I had, it was very accurate, and is similar to item #341
in the Schaff catalogue, which unfortunately leaves much to be desired as
to accuracy.
Regards,
