Hole Gages

Hole Gages

Hole gages are used to gage internal dimensions of bores that are either too small in diameter for an inside micrometer, and have greater economy than a bore gage or other precision internal gage.

Hole gages help determine the diameter of a hole. While their function is similar to bore gages, they are less precise, much simpler tools that require measurement of a transferred dimension. We offer several varieties of small hole gage sets as well as telescoping gages for larger holes. Our taper gages are inserted into a hole or slot, with the diameter determined by reading the tool’s etched scale.

Dial Hole Gages and Bore Gages are direct-reading tools for measuring holes. They eliminate the need to transfer measurements, and are far more productive in measuring holes, but at a higher price point.
