- Hardened and ground stainless steel body for durability and precise measurements you can rely on. - Hardened, ground spindle with a carbide anvil and super hard carbide tips for long life and consistent accuracy. - Ratchet-stop mechanism provides uniform pressure for repeatable measurements. - Carbide facing on the spindle and anvil delivers excellent wear resistance for sustained performance. Why this matters - Function and reliability: designed for accurate, repeatable gauging in precision machining tasks. - Material and build: rugged stainless steel with carbide components ensures longevity in daily workshop use. - Performance: wear-resistant faces and a steady ratchet-stop deliver dependable readings over time. Applications and use scenarios - Inspect small-diameter parts such as shafts, pins, and bushings to verify diameters within tolerance. - Set up machine tools or gauges, ensuring consistent pressure and repeatable measurements during tooling and fixture alignment. - QA and inspection of machined components, where durable construction and accurate readings are essential for quality control.
