We are proud to introduce two new gages to our bore gage product line. #7 standard style and #8 standard style bore gage. Please visit corresponding pages for more details and technical specifications.

Bore gages are comparative instruments designed to check hole diameter and evaluate condition of the internal diameters. These bore gages use the principle of two points gaging and three point centralization. The gaging contacts are diametrically opposed which allows the most accurate reading of a bore. The reference contact is constructed to allow range extensions and adapters to be added to change the measuring size of the bore gage without loss of accuracy or balance.

During use, the gage is inserted on an angle for easy entry into the bore. The centralize insures locating on the true diameter. The gage is "rocked" and the indicator is observed to find the lowest measurement to obtain a true diameter reading.

Dorsey offers a variety of reference masters from specific size master rings to Dorsey's corresponding family of adjustable bore gage setmasters.
