FAQs
How do I calibrate the dial bore gauge?
Use a known master ring or standard of the correct size to calibrate the gauge. Adjust the dial to read zero when inserted in the standard.
What is the measuring range of this gauge?
The gauge measures from 50mm to 160mm.
What is the accuracy of the gauge?
The accuracy is 0.01mm.
What components are included with the gauge?
The gauge includes the probe body, dial indicator, anvils, and spacer rings.
How should I store the dial bore gauge?
Store the gauge in its wooden storage case when not in use to protect it from damage.
Can I use this gauge to measure tapered bores?
Yes, this gauge can be used to detect taper and ovality in bores.
What should I do if the dial indicator is not moving?
