Veritas Tapered Gauge

A tapered gauge gets its accuracy by effectively stretching any scale for accurate reading. These stretch the standard scale by a factor of seven. When a thickness difference of 3.2mm is stretched over 22mm of the scale; small differences in thickness can easily be measured with fine accuracy. This aluminium gauge can be used many ways;for setting fences; router bits and drill-press stops; as well as making any gap easy to measure and; therefore; easy to fill;if you happen to be repairing work. The gauge is hard anodised; a process that makes the surface as hard to scratch as tool steel; yet leaves it easy to write on with a pencil. In most uses accurate to 0.05mm; they are guaranteed to have no greater error than 0.10mm in any measurement. A simple effective tool in metric graduations of 0.2mm. Features a fine tip .75mm thick and measures up to 29mm in thickness. Comes with a hard-shell case.
