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.
