Quick Introduction - Fine Adjustment Tutorial
Base Lab Tools offer a variety of fine adjustment screws and nut/bushings where interchangeability and cost of the assembly are key parameters. The thread class for these fine adjuster screws are typical 3A/3B the tightest thread class.

These devices will have less backlash and longer life expectancy than standard 3A/3B adjusters.
