The Adjustable Snap Gage is a Versatile Tool for Taking OD Measurements on the Shop Floor

From Mahr Federal Inc.

Moving gaging to the point of manufacture is the process engineer's dream. It is what drives productivity on the shop floor, puts quality in the hands of the machinist and quickly weeds out process problems before they become catastrophic.

Measuring calipers have been around for nearly 150 years. In that time they have evolved into fullfeatured digital measuring systems. But it is a testament to the simplicity and versatility of the original design that the evolution has been so slow and that
