Gaging Tighter Tolerances Is A Different Animal

摘要

If you are planning on manufacturing to tolerances of 0.0001 inch or less and have not done so before, your introduction to high order gaging might be an eye opener, Gaging at this level is a very different animal, especially when considering how to measure the new parts you will be producing, When gaging parts with the usual tolerances (0.0005 inch or broader), the quality of the gage is usually the main consideration. However, when you become interested in tolerances of say 30 microinches, there is much more than the gage to consider. You must place just as much importance on creating a special environment in which it will operate.
