This extremely versatile measurement instrument features a robust cast granite composite base and our proven cast iron "ultra precision" stage system. This comparator comes standard with integrated fiber optic surface illumination. Measurement scales are mounted in the center of travel with zero backlash. A variety of readout options combine to make this one of the most accurate and versatile horizontal benchtop comparators.
