The G.A.L. Gage Co. Taper Gauge (Cat # Sub 28A) is a high-precision inspection tool engineered for accurate measurement of slot widths, gap dimensions, hole diameters, and fit-up alignments. Crafted from durable 410 stainless steel, this versatile gauge features dual-sided graduations supporting both imperial and metric units, making it an essential instrument for quality control inspectors, welders, and machinists across demanding industrial sectors.
Designed for ultimate accuracy and long-lasting durability, the Sub 28A Taper Gauge provides quick and reliable dimensional verification without requiring complex measuring equipment. The tapered blade features laser-etched, high-contrast markings for effortless readability under various workshop conditions. Side I displays imperial units ranging from 1/32" to 5/8" with 1/64" graduations, while Side II provides metric units ranging from 1.0 mm to 15 mm with 0.1 mm graduations. Built from robust 410 stainless steel, it resists corrosion and wear, ensuring dependable performance in harsh manufacturing and fabrication environments.
Certification
The Cat # SUB 28a Taper Gauge can be certified. The certification is not included in the base price and is available at an additional cost. Just add it to cart if your quality control or compliance standards require it.
