Taper Gauge
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10823
Taper Gauge (code EL-MAILE-10823) is a pocket-size internal gauge used to determine hole sizes in dies and other work and to measure internal tapers and cylindrical bores. It is made of stainless steel with laser-engraved figures and increments, has tempered steel leaves with a locking device for fixing any leaf in position, and reads in thousandths of an inch or 0.02 mm up to a maximum measurement of 0.500 inch.

What Is the Taper Gauge Used For?
A taper gauge works by wedging: its tapered edge is slid into a hole or bore until it touches the walls, and the marking at the point of contact gives the size directly. Toolmakers and machinists use it for checking hole sizes in dies and other work, and for measuring cylindrical bores and internal tapers in design and mechanical engineering. Once the right leaf has been chosen, the locking device holds it in position while the reading is taken in thousandths of an inch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Taper Gauge used for?
It is used to determine hole sizes in dies and many other kinds of work, and to measure cylindrical bores and internal tapers.
How fine are the readings?
The gauge reads in thousandths of an inch or 0.02 mm, on an inch measurement system, with a maximum measurement of 0.500 inch.
What is it made of?
The gauge is stainless steel, polished and free of burrs, and its leaves are tempered steel; a locking device holds any chosen leaf in position.
Will the markings wear off?
The figures and increments are etched into the surface and the lines are laser engraved, so they do not rub off with use.
How does a taper gauge measure a hole?
The tapered edge is pushed gently into the hole until it touches both sides, and the size is read from the graduation at the point where it meets the edge of the hole.
