Silverline Drill Gauge 1 - 13mm (598570)

Product Information

Well, if you base your answer on how many size holes there are in the world, then there would be infinite amount of bits! I personally use JustAnswer, and they’ve gotten me out of a bind more than once. I can’t tell you how much time and money they’ve saved me. Step 4: Once the drill point gauge is correctly positioned, make sure the needle is pointing to the correct angle for the drill point.

Thread pitch gauges are relatively inexpensive tools, and they are essential for anyone who works with screws on a regular basis. There are indeed larger sets. Specialty fasteners sometimes call for a size that would be considered uncommon.Point gauges are used in fluid mechanics to measure the static pressure of a fluid. Static pressure is the force per unit area that a fluid exerts on a surface. It is measured in units of pounds per square inch (psi).

Metric drill sizes are used primarily in Europe and use metric units to measure the drill bit diameter. There are a variety of standards used to define drill sizes, the most common one in the UK is the British Standard BS 328 set which includes twist drill bit sizes between 0.2 mm and 25 mm. Finally, getting the right size drill bit set in your greater tool “chest” will arm you for the various types of projects you’re doing.Many times, we’re just trying to find out the alternative sizes available if you’re working with metric sizes (measured in millimeters) versus standard or empirical values (our familiar fractional inch variety).

Most commonly used in the US, but can still be found occasionally in the UK, these imperial measurement drill bits come in 1/64 inch increments. The fractions used are always in their simplest form, i.e. reduced as far as possible, so 2/64 becomes 1/32 for instance. Each gear tooth gauge has a pressure angle (either 14.5° or 20° although other angles are available), which relates to the angle between the tooth face and the tangent line to the gear wheel. They are widely used by engineers due to their high accuracy and tough hardened stainless steel construction. Gear tooth gauges range from pitches as small as 0.35mm up to 12mm and beyond. Easy to Use: Drill point gauges are easy to use, with a simple and intuitive design that makes them perfect for both experienced and novice users.

The drill gauge is a simple but effective tool for measuring the diameter of a drill bit. It is easy to use and provides accurate measurements. It is an essential tool for anyone who needs to accurately measure drill bits for any application. Drill Point Gauge Uses

When buying a good set, ensure it contains more than just one of the common (important) size drill bits. The drill gauge has two parts: a sliding scale and a stationary scale. The sliding scale is adjustable and can be moved up and down the drill bit. The stationary scale is fixed and indicates the diameter of the bit. To measure the drill bit, the user must place the drill bit into the gauge and adjust the sliding scale until it fits snugly. The diameter of the bit is then read off of the stationary scale. Sets with even more varying drill bit sizes would include diameters smaller than 1/16″ or larger than 1-1/2″. In between in these large tiny and large sizes are every equivalent bit size known to “man”, so you always have the exact size needed depending on what you’re project is calling for. Everyday home repair and construction projects, hobby, marine, farming, woodworking, metal working, aircraft, arts and crafts, commercial building projects, machinery and more.A drill point gauge is a tool used to measure the angle of a drill bit. It is important to use the correct size and type of drill bit for the material being drilled, and the correct angle helps to ensure that the bit will not slip or wander while drilling. The most common angles are 118° and 135°, but other sizes are also available. A drill gauge can be used on a variety of materials to ensure the hole is the correct size and the job is done accurately. What is a Drill Gauge’s Accuracy Rating?
