Measurement & Layout Tools
Granite surface plates (±
0.0001") in 18"x12"x3" (85 lbs.) & 12"x9"x2" (30 lbs.)
sizes.
A simple, all wood (glued only, no metal) cover to protect the surface from
damage.
A carbide-tipped (Mitutoyo) height gauge on a
granite surface plate (± 0.0001") make an accurate combination for laying out precisely scribed lines.
High accuracy can be achieved using
gage blocks to set the heights.
Use layout die to make the scribe marks easier to
see.
Surface plates are useful for precision alignment when
assembling parts, too.
Also refer to, how to drill a hole where you
want it & how to drill the center of a rod.
Depth attachment. Rod accepts different end types.
Measure distances between holes using a center-finder attachment
by Mitutoyo.
Starrett surface gage & Starrett Last Word dial test indicator on the
granite surface plate measuring a 1-2-3 block.
If possible, move the part not the gage when indicating a surface.
Two dial indicator comparator stands.
Used for quality
assurance (QA) size measurements of many parts.
Serrated anvils are purportedly more accurate.
Back plunger dial
indicator set with 'G'
clamp, universal clamp,
swinging-arm
assembly, tool post
holder, holding
rod,
Tommy bar &
anvil. Swinging arm assembly
enables the back plunger dial gauge for use on
internal work to a depth of
1.6" (40mm); similar to a lever-type
gage. Allows multiple types of mounting possibilities
for gauging applications
like concentricity checks, alignment of machine tools, testing parallelism
& surface plate work.
81 piece, Grade B, hardened, rectangular
precision gage block set, from 0.050 to 4.0", ±0.000050" at 20°C
(68°F).
Excellent for use with height gages, sine bars, sine plates &
sine vises
Digital depth gage with a large base.
Micrometer depth gage
Dial depth gage
Inside micrometer gages
Telescoping & half-ball
Mitutoyo inside gage sets. The half-ball type can get into shallow, blind
holes better than a ball type.
A digital caliper that measures
inches, millimeters & fractions to 1/64th inch.
Working close to lights does not affect this tool's readings.
Handy for wood work & sifting through raw stock.
This LCD has a somewhat narrow optimal viewing angle.
Mitutoyo digital
measurement tools: depth gage, caliper (older model) & micrometer.
The micrometer reads to 0.00005" or 50 millionths of an inch.
Mitutoyo Absolute Digimatic caliper.
An excellent digital caliper that is very accurate throughout its entire measurement
range.
Always maintains zero. Large LC display. 3½ years battery life. No irritating auto-off.
Depth base attached. It is hardened & precision ground.
0.5 (no lock) & 1" micrometers.
Micrometer set zero through six
inches, in wooden case.
One, two, three, four & five-inch size standards plus adjustment wrench are
included.
Mainly for use on the 9x20 lathe.
Excellent accuracy & a good value.
The wooden case was sanded &
re-glued in places.
Various types of squares, small rules,
& protractors.
The excellent LS Starrett, Last Word dial test indicator set.
The excellent Brown & Sharp dial test indicator set.
Fowler dial test indicator set. Moderate quality.
Using a Sparro 1st
Word holder & a LS Starrett Last Word dial test indicator
to check the tram of the mill/drill. A very rigid indicator holder.
Noga magnetic base indicator holder.
Noga
NF1018
indicator arm with ⅜" clamp held by the modified,
V-groove tool post, mounted
off the headstock side T-slot of the
Taig mill.
Setup shows indicating a work piece before rotating to a
specific cutting angle.
The Noga arm is good for tramming mills,
lathes & rotary tables.
This style arm is very quick & easy to set plus has good rigidity.
Co-Ax indicator that takes
measurements while the spindle is spinning (800 RPM maximum).
The point can be used to locate a punch mark.
Transfer punch sets: Fractional - 3/32" through 1" by
1/64th", 0.0025" undersized.
Numbered - 1 through 60. Lettered - A through Z. Metric - 1mm
through 13mm by 0.5mm.
Black anodized & heat treated.
Some of the original stands were replaced with
Huot brand.
Transfer screw sets for
mating parts including blind holes. Hardened screws stored inside handle.
End has a hex driver that serves as wrench. Top to bottom examples: ¾-10, 4-40 & M10-1.5
(metric).
Hole center transfer set in ½", ⅜",
5/16" & ¼" pairs.
Imperial & metric (yellow) screw thread gages (2),
fractional & numbered drill size gages.
These plate-type thread gages would be more accurate if they were twice as
thick.
Having just a few threads, it is easy to make an error.
These gages check both nuts & bolts. Metric have black oxide
& Imperial have galvanized coatings.
Superior to plate-type gages which use only a few threads per size for testing.
Accurate metal protractor.
An optical protractor.
