Let's finish our tour at the ‪@lsstarretttools‬ factory up in Athol, Massachusetts and see how they build their high quality precision tools! In this video we'll get to see the punch press department, small gages, raw castings & forgings, combination square assembly, finishing processes and quality control. This tour spanned the period of two days and although we tried to get in as much as we could, it's simply too vast to be able to see it all and visit all of the departments. We hope that our viewers enjoy the tour and having some insite on many of the tools and processes that Starrett performs to build the best precision tools available! #starrett #precisiontools #manufacturing

What I loved was the segment where we saw the Acme machines that were inoperative because the guy who operated all five retired so they replaced the work with CNC machines. What was so amazing about that was they didn't replace him as long as he could contribute to the overall output. They kept him employed and productive while making up the difference with CNC. I've never heard of a manufacturing company that would do that. They have an enormous loyalty to their employees.

the guy running the tour is the exact type of guy you want on this job. very impressive the knowledge of organizational processes

I'm honored that A&A Booth took the time to visit my home state of MA. Starrett is an American Icon. Try to imagine how many trillions of dollars worth of machinery has been built with Starrett tools.

Really cool to have your grand dad’s mic with you. Just great to see generational tools respected in that way.

@garbo8962 4 месяца назад

Great to see a factory with old wood floors and tons of windows that actually open. Worked a week in a big modern factory ten hours a day during the winter where I did not see the sun for five days. Finally put my winter coat on and sat in my car to see the sun while eating my lunch. Appears they go out of thier way to take good care of thier workers. Now you are just a # to companies.

I don’t think people realize how incredible this company is. Starrett tools have touched every industry in America for so long. What a great tour…. It’s the equivalent to touring Yankee stadium if you’re a baseball fan or Lambeau if you’re an NFL fan.

@Chromevulcan 4 месяца назад

Yeah, half of my precision tools are Starrett. Too bad they just sold the company, I guess we can expect their quality to take a nose dive soon enough. They'll be made overseas by a Chinese company, all that'll be left is the name.

Hi Adam. There is a good chance that my grandfather assembled your granddad’s micrometer. He worked at Starrett for 30 years, retiring in 1972 from the micrometer assembly area. He started out making the wooden finger-jointed boxes that Starrett used to package their tools in. I still have some and some micrometers from my grandfather also. Great tour and great documentation of some of the processes used to manufacture these great American tools. Thanks for your work to produce these videos.

@denniss5512 4 месяца назад

Hats off to Tim for a fantastic tour! I loved the " after two days I finally stumped you" Comment! I was wondering how impressed he was that you could name almost all the parts and pieces. I guarentee that doesn't happen often! Makes you part of the Starrett family.

So I see you got to see Doug junior.. When I work there, his Dad was the CEO Doug Senior.. That was the number of years ago , ha ha ha. I think I worked there when they had the highest number of employees.. If I remember correctly it was about 1,500.. in Athol Massachusetts

What a great tours Adam I really loved it I purchased my first Starret tools when I was a junior in high school that would be 1973 and still have them. And it was awesome bringing your grandad's mike and that your father also used, and now you use. That is awesome stuff!

@joeylawn36111 4 месяца назад

Pretty cool of Starrett to let you see everything - and Film! - usually manufactures don't do that, but I'm guessing since they don't have a lot of competition, they aren't too concerned about trade secrets. Starrett - Filming? No problem. Wal-Mart - "Sir, turn off your phone camera"

@carliemorgan1871 4 месяца назад

There really is a lot of competion. It's just that these are hand tools.. there's nothing revolutionary about these types of units.

@Caseman91291 4 месяца назад

Trade secrets? These are all archaic methods.

@joeylawn36111 4 месяца назад

@@carliemorgan1871 OK point conceded about the competition. But one just has to love how well the bosses of Starrett treat their employees.

They take allot of pride in their tools and their employees, they even let them dress comfortably and don't appear to put allot of pressure on them. I was hoping they gave you a nice goodie bag before you left, even their seconds would be my first. Great video series, thanks for sharing.

❤ I have enjoyed watching this series and could imagine what the company looked and sounded like back in the day when 1,800 employees were working there. New technologies will reduce the 800 that are still there. I have bought a lot of their tools and used many that I couldn't possibly afford in my lifetime.

Loved the visit. Here in South Africa we have been metric since 1969 ( by decree but thats another story ) so all my measuring tackle is in metric. Got all my late dad’s stuff which came ex UK original. Have been building up my metric measuring stuff since mostly Mitutoyo but I do appreciate well made tools. Tony Aimer Johannesburg

I thought the knurled knob on bottom was just decorative feature. I checked first thing when I went to work this morning. Lmao. Funny thing is though that I have Starret scribe right next to my square that I have been using for years. Jesus

@davidt8438 4 месяца назад

Pay attention all you young people who feel lost and think “what can I do, I don’t have any experience”. You can dedicate yourself to making America better by watching at 26:13 and building yourself a better life if you’re willing to learn! Go apply at Starrett and learn a career instead of playing video games and living in mom’s basement. If you have reasonable eye and hand coordination you can make something of yourself.

@james-ew7kl 4 месяца назад

Kids spending hours and hours in their mum's basement playing video games, in so doing would probably have developed some pretty awesome brain, eye and hand coordination. Pretty useful if you're single blocking through a new program at the CNC machine to prove it out; at warp speed without crashing being the expectation when fully proficient. But maybe with the new conversational stuff, they don't do that any more; certainly haven't seen it here.

@tonyn3123 4 месяца назад

I am proud such a high-quality company is US based. I am really curious for the future since the company sold. If you received any info from the executives regarding the future, we would really like to know. Thanks
