FAQs
What is the accuracy of the Draper Bore Gauge Set?
The set provides measurements with an accuracy of 0.01mm.
What is the measurement range of the bore gauge set?
The set is designed to measure bores from 50mm to 160mm.
What is included in the set?
The set includes a travel dial test indicator, an extension bar, spacer rings, and 12 measuring rods.
How do I calibrate the bore gauge?
Use a known standard to set the indicator to zero before taking measurements.
How should I store the bore gauge set?
Store the gauge set in its provided storage case to protect it from damage and keep components organized.
Can I use this for measuring the depth of a bore?
No, this tool is designed specifically for measuring the diameter of a bore, not its depth.
What should I do if the indicator needle doesn't move?
Make sure the measuring rods are making contact with the bore walls. Check for any obstructions or damages to the indicator's mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate readings
Check the indicator for proper zeroing. Ensure the measuring rods and extension bars are correctly assembled. Re-calibrate the gauge set if necessary.
Indicator not moving
Verify that the measuring rod is making contact with the bore walls. Check for obstructions or damage to the indicator's mechanism. Inspect and clean the bore to remove any debris.
Difficulty inserting the gauge
Ensure the correct size measuring rod is selected. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the bore and the measuring rod. Carefully align the gauge set before inserting.
