Turning Fixed-Body Plug Gages Inside Out

Modern Machine Shop

Using a fixed-body mechanical plug gage is one of the best ways to measure inside diameters. There is no rocking with this type of gage, as with an adjustable bore gage; therefore, it is fast and provides high performance for tight-tolerance holes. Because these gages are so easy to apply, they are typically used to measure a high volume of parts. Even in cases where the volume of parts is not high, if the parts are expensive and the tolerance tight, a fixed-body plug gage may still be an econom
