I don't know what it's called. Got it from my brother in law who is no longer a machinist. It's a little kit with a bunch of handy accessories. Each graduation is .001", so probably not the last word. I have a mitutoyo that goes to .0005". That's as close as I need to be. If I lost that starrett kit I would definitely buy another!Is that the Starrett last word?
