Hardened steel thread gauge 5031

Description
The Machinist Center Gages provide accurate grinding and setup for 60° screw-cutting tools used in threading operations. Designed for shop environments, this gage helps maintain correct tool geometry and perpendicular alignment to the workpiece.

Why the PEC Center Gage is a Shop Standard:

• Precision Tool Alignment: Engineered for grinding and setting 60° screw-cutting tools to align the tool bit perpendicular to the workpiece for accurate threading.
• Four Integrated Scales: Includes four scales to quickly determine threads per inch (TPI).
• Metric Support: Fully graduated in millimetres and 0.5 mm increments for metric projects.
• Hardened Spring Steel Construction: Manufactured from hardened, spring-tempered steel to resist bending and preserve accurate profile in heavy shop use.
• Non-Glare Satin Chrome Finish: Satin chrome finish improves contrast for readability and enhances corrosion resistance under shop conditions.
• On-Tool Reference Table: Deeply etched table of double depths of threads for quick tap drill selection at the machine.
• Precision Ground Surfaces: All gauging surfaces and the 60° V-edges are precision ground to tight tolerances for consistent measurements.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Hardened Spring Tempered Steel
• Finish: Satin Chrome (Non-Glare)
• Measurement Units: Fractional Inch and Metric (mm)
• Angle: 60 Degrees (Standard for most US and Metric threads)
• Accuracy: Precision ground surfaces for industrial use
