These meticulously crafted gages from Allen Benjamin feature attributes that are sought after in any Quality Control program which involves mechanical gaging: high hardness which equates to prolonged wear life of the gage and results in better, longer lasting quality.

Using carbide or ceramic thread plug gages saves almost all of the inspection costs. High hardness gages will not distort or scratch. By actual tests during use, the wear of tool steel gages is over 100 times the wear of carbide and/or ceramic gages. So, for a higher initial cost, it is possible to gage accurately and reliably over longer periods.

Accurate thread measurements lead to fewer scrapped parts, fewer reworks, and cost savings in the parts production cycle.
