Authenticated flat surface, used for measurement Used as a plane of reference Surface plate gages, used on surface plate Grades AA, A, and B Surface Plate
Make sure your surface plate is clean and free of cracks and damage. Surface Plate Demonstration
Surface gauge with indicator Surface Plate Gages
Balanced or bilateral dials Has plus or minus dial Perform bilateral measurements Compare parts to the master If dial reads less than zero, compared part is smaller than master If dial reads more than zero, compared part is larger than master Mechanical Indicator
Step 1: Place your indicator on your gauge block stack. (1.932) Mechanical indicator Step by Step
Step 2: Turn the thumb wheel to zero the indicator Mechanical indicator Step by Step
Step 3: Turn the thumb wheel one full rotation back to zero. Mechanical indicator Step by Step
Step 4: The gauge is now zeroed. Mechanical indicator Step by Step
Step 5: Slide the gauge from the gauge block stack to the shouldered stud. The gauge reads .001 so our measurement is 1.930 + .001 = 1.931 Mechanical indicator Step by Step
Height gage Used to measure height Surface Plate Gages
Step 1: Zero the gauge. Height Gauge Step by Step
Zero Step 2: Verify the gauge is zeroed against the surface plate. Height Gauge Step by Step
Step 3: Place the part under the measuring surface and use the thumb wheel to lower the measuring surface onto the part. Height Gauge Step by Step
1.931 1.000 .900 .031 Step 5: Read the measurement. Height Gauge Step by Step
