* we also provide other diameters and carbide points. See our contact points on page 21.
** for instructions please refer to our Do-it-Yourself page 15. Note: It's quite common that Starrett parts need customization before they fit. You'd think that a company which produces precision tools would have the means to manufacture interchangeable parts, but they don't. The lever is a prime example. In order for the jeweled tip to engage properly in the screw gear you may have to bend the lever. Do this with utmost care, since it will break easily. We will not replace the lever if you break it! In a surprise move, quite out of character for the LS Starrett Company, the reversing lever on the side of the indicator body is no longer sold as a spare part. It can only be gotten as part of the complete body. The old levers had a pin that kept them in place; these parts are, alas, no longer available either. In the case of the pin, you can probably find a substitute in your scrap box. For the rest, you'll have to improvise or buy a new indicator. Item 16: when installed, the hand (pointer) will be at the six o'clock position and it will make exactly one revolution. Two adjustment screws are available for this purpose. If the hand travels much more than one revolution, it will probably cause the hair spring to tangle. If you don't have experience, you're much better off breaking open your piggy bank and have us do the complete repair. Take our advice on this (see repair service).
