Measuring Tools

Dial indicators bore gauges micrometers vernier calipers and magnetic stands for shop measurement.

The Problem

What This Category Is Really For

A machine shop's tolerance is only as good as the instrument that checks it. A worn caliper or a bore gauge that has never been set against a standard will pass parts that should be rejected, and the shop finds out at the customer's assembly line.

  • Bore gauges indicators micrometers and calipers from one supplier
  • Magnetic and flexible stands to hold indicators where they are needed
  • Digital and vernier reading options
  • Ships with machine orders so a new shop has measurement on day one

FAQ

Measuring Tools Questions

Can measuring tools be added to a machine order?

Yes, and that is usually the cheapest way to buy them — they ship in the same consignment with no additional freight.

Digital or vernier calipers?

Digital reads faster and reduces reading errors. Vernier needs no battery and survives workshop conditions better. Shops that do both usually keep vernier on the machines and digital at the inspection bench.

Do the bore gauges come with setting rings?

Tell us the bore range you measure and we will confirm what is included and what needs to be added.
