TAPER GAUGE 0.5-10MM 0.05MM GRAD. 0.05MM ACC. S/STEEL

Taper Gauge 0.8 - 15mm ( 0.1mm Accuracy )
SERIES 962

A taper gauge serves as a measuring device, specially designed for assessing the angle or gradient of a tapered surface with exceptional precision. Typically crafted from robust hardened steel, it features a blade that tapers and is marked with inscribed graduations that signify the degree of taper. To measure the taper angle, the gauge is introduced into the tapered surface to be assessed until it securely fits, and the angle is directly read from the indicated graduations.

What Are Taper gauges Used For?

Manufacturing and Machining:

Inspecting Tool Holders and Spindles: Ensuring the accurate taper angle on tool holders and spindles is essential for optimal tool fit and performance. Taper gauges play a crucial role in confirming that these components meet the specified requirements.
Measuring Tapered Parts: Taper gauges are used to gauge the angles of diverse tapered parts, such as gears, shafts, and cones, guaranteeing adherence to design specifications and quality standards.
Setting Up Machines: Taper gauges are used to configure machines that demand precise taper angles, such as milling machines and lathes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in the machining process.

Construction and Carpentry:

Checking Beam Angles: Taper gauges serve to validate the angles of beams and other structural elements in construction projects, contributing to the overall stability and integrity of the structures.
Measuring Wood Joints: Taper gauges are used to determine the angles of tapered wood joints, such as dovetails, ensuring the precise cutting of joints for optimal strength and structural integrity.

Automotive Industry:

Measuring Engine Components: Taper gauges are used for measuring the tapered surfaces of engine components such as pistons and connecting rods, ensuring they adhere to stringent tolerances for optimal fit and engine performance.
Checking Body Panel Alignment: Taper gauges find application in verifying the alignment of body panels during car assembly, ensuring that panels meet the specified angles for proper fit and aesthetic appeal.
