Granite Solutions
Granite parallels
Granite reference surfaces
Granite solutions are reference surfaces and standards of extremely high flatness and stability. Starrett makes them in Crystal Pink® and Superior Red granite—the latter with the highest quartz content for greater wear resistance—in AA (laboratory), A (inspection) and B (shop) grades.
Granite parallels, in matched pairs, raise the part above the plate while maintaining exact parallelism for inspection or machining.
