Starrett supplier in Romania
Precision measuring instruments for industrial inspection
Founded in 1880 · Headquarters: Athol, Massachusetts, USA
Who is Starrett and what does it make?
Starrett is an American manufacturer of precision measuring instruments, founded in 1880 in Athol, Massachusetts, with a range covering micrometers, calipers, dial and electronic indicators, precision granite plates, gauge blocks and band saw blades. The company also makes laser measuring systems, measurement data collection systems and hardness testers for material testing. For the Romanian market we can mainly quote from the range of manual measuring instruments and from industrial saw blades, used in metrology laboratories and machining workshops.
What keeps Starrett relevant after more than a century is the very wide coverage of dimensional measuring instruments from a single manufacturer — from classic workshop instruments to electronic data collection systems (DataSure) and laser profile measuring systems (Profile360). The company also offers electronic touchscreen indicators (W4900) for direct integration into dimensional inspection lines.
For metrology laboratories, machining workshops and quality control lines in Romania, the Starrett range makes sense both for basic equipping with manual measuring instruments and for complementing with industrial saw blades for daily use, where blade durability matters as much as the precision of the inspection instruments.
What do we supply from the Starrett range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Precision Measuring Instruments | A wide family of micrometers, calipers, dial and electronic indicators, squares and levels, for dimensional inspection in the workshop and the metrology laboratory. Typical application: checking tolerances on machined parts. The customer must state the measuring range and the type of instrument required. |
| Band Saw Blades | Bi-metal, carbide-tipped or wood-cutting blades, including the TENNAX-PRO series for cutting structures, pipes and bar bundles. Used in metal cutting workshops and industrial joinery. For a quotation we need the band size and the type of material cut. |
| Granite Plates and Gauge Blocks | Precision granite plates for dimensional inspection tables and gauge block sets for calibrating measuring instruments. Used in metrology laboratories and quality control rooms. The plate size or the precision class of the blocks must be specified. |
| Laser Measuring and Data Collection Systems | Laser systems for profile measurement (Profile360) and measurement data collection platforms (DataSure) for integration with electronic in-line instruments. Typical application: statistical process control in series production. The customer must state the number of instruments to be connected and the interface type required. |

How do we supply Starrett in Romania?
For the Starrett range we use the manufacturer's technical documentation; we check availability on every request. We bring in precision instruments, band saw blades and metrology accessories made to order through European supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from order confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the type of instrument, the measuring range required or the saw blade band size, and the material to be cut. We make no promise of warehouse availability for any item in the range.
Certified calibration and warranty service for Starrett instruments are arranged by direct verification.
Frequently asked questions about Starrett
What does Starrett make?
Starrett makes precision measuring instruments — micrometers, calipers, indicators, granite plates and gauge blocks — plus band saw blades, laser measuring systems and hardness testers for material testing. It is an American manufacturer active since 1880, with a range oriented towards industrial metrology.
How do I choose the right Starrett measuring instrument?
The choice depends on the measuring range needed, the precision required and the type of part checked — a micrometer for external dimensions, a caliper for varied measurements or an indicator for quick in-line checks. For very tight tolerances, the precision class of the instrument also matters.
How do I choose a Starrett micrometer as a replacement?
The choice depends on the measuring range, the resolution and the precision class in the instrument's datasheet, checked individually for each application.
Can you supply Starrett instruments in Romania and within what lead time?
We bring in Starrett measuring instruments and saw blades made to order, through European supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation, depending on the availability of the model at the manufacturer.
What should I send for a Starrett instrument quotation?
We need the type of instrument required, the measuring range, the precision required and, for saw blades, the band size and the material to be cut, so that we identify the correct code in the Starrett range.
How do I request a Starrett quotation?
Send the Starrett code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
