Q: What does a tapered gauge do?
It stretches any scale for accurate reading. This one stretches the standard scale by a factor of seven, so a thickness difference of 1/8" spreads over 7/8" of the scale and small differences read easily.
05N3802 - Veritas Decimal Tapered Gauge
A tapered gauge effectively stretches any scale for accurate reading. This one stretches the standard scale by a factor of seven. When a thickness difference of 1/8" is stretched over 7/8" of the scale, small differences in thickness can easily be measured with fine accuracy.
The aluminum gauge can be used many ways – for setting fences, router bits and drill-press stops, as well as measuring gaps when you repair work.
The hard anodized surface is scratch resistant, yet easy to write on with a pencil. In most uses accurate to ±0.002", the gauge is guaranteed to have no greater error than 0.005" in any measurement.
Decimal scale in 0.01” graduations. It has a fine tip (1/32" thick) and measures up to 1-1/8" (or equivalent) thickness. Hard-shell case included.
Made in Canada.
Tapered gauges are also available with Imperial or metric scales.
It stretches any scale for accurate reading. This one stretches the standard scale by a factor of seven, so a thickness difference of 1/8" spreads over 7/8" of the scale and small differences read easily.
In most uses it is accurate to ±0.002", and it carries a guarantee of no greater error than 0.005" in any measurement.
It suits setting fences, router bits and drill-press stops, as well as measuring gaps when you repair work.
