Taking accurate measurements in a well-lit workshopEveryone likes to work in well lit workshop with the sun streaming in but if you are trying to measure with an optical profile projector this can make taking measurements or comparisons against an overlay difficult and can lead to errors. Starrett has the answer to this problem with a range of floor and bench-mounted projectors with black-out curtains to make the task easier and providing improved results. Pictured is a Starrett HF750 horizontal floor-standing optical comparator with black-out curtains.
