Thread Tool Setting Gage

Thread Tool Setting Gages are specialized tools used in the field of machining and metalworking. They are part of the supply class Measuring Tools, specifically in the Craftsmen's supply group Measuring Tools.

Thread Tool Setting Gages are used to accurately set the cutting tools or inserts on a lathe or milling machine to the correct height and angle for cutting threads. They ensure that the threads being cut are precise and meet the required specifications.

These gages typically consist of a series of precision-ground pins or blocks that are marked with the thread pitch and size. The gage is placed against the cutting tool or insert, and the appropriate pin or block is selected based on the desired thread pitch. The tool is then adjusted until it touches the selected pin or block, ensuring that it is set correctly.

Thread Tool Setting Gages are essential for achieving accurate and consistent thread cutting results. They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precise threading is crucial for the functionality and performance of the final product.
