Solid setmasters are ground to a specific size and are not adjustable. The is type of setmaster is recommended for use when the part tolerance is less than .002". The base can be made from tubular or solid steel, cast iron, aluminum or Inconel (austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloy) to better match the coefficient of thermal expansion of the part being machined. Anvils made from either hardened steel or carbide are available in a flat and parallel configuration or angular configuration. Typical dimensional tolerances for solid setmasters are +/-.001", +/-.0005", +/-.0002" or +/-.0001". Price available upon request.
