Overview
Radius and thread gauges are precision tools used in machining and engineering to measure radii and thread pitches accurately. These gauges ensure that components fit together correctly and meet specific tolerances, making them essential for quality control in manufacturing processes.
FAQ
What should I consider when buying a used radius or thread gauge?
Check for wear and tear, ensure that the measurements are still accurate, and verify that the gauge meets your specific requirements. Look for any signs of rust or damage.
How do I ensure that the gauge is shipped safely?
Use a reputable courier service and ensure the gauge is well-packaged, ideally in a hard case or with ample padding to prevent damage during transit.
What is the maintenance schedule for radius and thread gauges?
Regularly clean the gauges with a mild solvent to remove debris and oil. Store them in a dry, cool place to prevent rust. Periodically check for calibration accuracy and make adjustments as needed.
