Machinists' Step Block

Machinists' Step Blocks are precision tools used in machining and metalworking processes. They are part of the supply class Inspection Gages And Precision Layout Tools, which falls under the supply group Measuring Tools.

Machinists' Step Blocks are typically made of hardened steel and have a rectangular or square shape. They are used to provide a stable and accurate reference surface for measuring and layout tasks. The blocks have multiple steps or ledges of varying heights, which allow for precise measurements and comparisons.

These step blocks are commonly used in conjunction with other measuring tools, such as calipers, micrometers, and height gauges. They are used to set up and verify the accuracy of these tools, as well as to establish reference points for machining operations.

Machinists' Step Blocks are essential tools in the field of precision machining and are widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. They help ensure the accuracy and quality of machined parts and components.
