Feeler Gauge, length 100mm ( 0.03 - 0.50mm ) 13 leaves
SERIES 912

Feeler Gauge, a precision tool used to measure gap widths orclearance between two parts, ensuring they fit or move together with the properamount of space between them. This tool consists of a set of thin metal blades,each with a precise thickness, which can be used individually or in combinationto measure small clearances in mechanical work, automotive repair, machining,and other precision tasks.

A feeler gauge is an essential tool for anyone involved in precision work,particularly in automotive repair, machining, and manufacturing. Its ability toaccurately measure small gaps and clearances ensures that mechanical parts fitand function properly, reducing wear and improving performance. Compact,versatile, and precise, a feeler gauge is a must-have in any tool collectionwhere accuracy is paramount.

Applications

  1. Automotive Repair

    • Valve Clearance: Used to measure and adjust the clearancebetween the valve tappet and the valve stem in an engine, ensuring properengine performance.
    • Spark Plugs: Used to check the gap between the electrodesof spark plugs, which is critical for proper ignition and engine efficiency.
    • Brake Components: Can be used to measure the gap betweenbrake pads and rotors or other components in the braking system.
  2. Machining and Manufacturing

    • Tool Setup: Used to set precise gaps between cuttingtools and workpieces on lathes, milling machines, or other machining equipment.
    • Bearing Clearance: Measures the clearance between bearingsand their housings, ensuring proper fit and function.
    • Surface Contact: Ensures that two surfaces are in propercontact with each other, or identifies the size of a gap that needs adjustment.
  3. General Engineering

    • Mechanical Assembly: Ensures proper spacing betweenparts in mechanical assemblies, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation.
    • Inspection and Quality Control: Used in quality controlto verify that assembled parts have the correct clearance as specified byengineering designs.
  4. Plumbing and HVAC

    • Gasket Installation: Ensures that gaskets are properlyseated with the correct compression and clearance.
    • Pipe Fittings: Measures gaps in pipe fittings to ensurethey are correctly aligned and sealed.

Key Features

  1. Set of Thin Blades

    • Varied Thickness: Each blade in a feeler gauge set is of a different thickness, usually measured in thousandths of an inch (imperial) or hundredths of a millimeter (metric).
    • High Precision: The thickness of each blade is precisely manufactured, allowing for accurate measurement of small gaps or clearances.
    • Material: The blades are typically made from high-quality steel, often stainless steel, to resist rust and maintain accuracy over time.
  2. Blades are Foldable

    • Compact Design: The blades are usually attached to a common holder or pivot point, allowing them to be folded out for use and then neatly stored back together, making the tool compact and easy to carry.
    • Easy Selection: Users can select a single blade or a combination of blades to achieve the desired thickness for a specific measurement.
  3. Combination Use

    • Custom Thicknesses: Multiple blades can be stacked together to measure a clearance that matches the sum of their thicknesses, providing flexibility for a wide range of measurements.
    • Markings: Each blade is clearly marked with its thickness, making it easy to identify and select the correct blade for the task.

Advantages

  • Versatility: A feeler gauge can measure a wide range of gaps and clearances, making it a versatile tool in many mechanical, automotive, and industrial applications.
  • High Precision: The accurate and consistent thickness of the blades allows for precise measurements, which is crucial in fine-tuning machinery and engines.
  • Durability: Made from durable materials, a feeler gauge is designed to withstand frequent use and maintain its accuracy over time.
  • Compact and Portable: The foldable design allows for easy storage and transport, making it convenient to carry around in a tool kit.
