Buying Used Thread Gages

YOUR very first post in this thread;

"And if you cant handle simple math;"

Or your

"What color is your cape, Superman?

Came first, I responded in kind.

You most often check thread pitch diameter with wires on external threads or you made a homemade go functional gage and use it. And that's fine, in some places it's more than enough.

Asking how you check a thread wasn't a trick question.

I said OK, I now understand why you can say "Threads are the simplest of our trade." That is all I was trying to find out and you finally made it clear. By your description of how you normally check threads I can now understand your statement that "Threads are the simplest of our trade."

If all anybody ever had to do was use thread wires on external threads and sometimes use a go gage for ID or OD threads and not having to inspect any of the other thread dimensions then yes, threading truly is simple, easy even, lucky you.

Send it out to the house that certifies your other gages.

See above.

Been using them as a supplier since 1979, never a problem, never an issue with quality, price or delivery.

They even publish their prices for checking and/or certifying plug and ring gages.

A "Universal Metroscope" ?

Is there some reason they don't call it what everyone else seems to call it... A ULM. (Universal Length Measuring Machine)?

In any case, I've never seen either and have no idea how either machine works... on in the case of the Chinese machine how it most likely doesn't work much like OneCNC doesn't work very well. :P

A Metroscope is exactly the device most often used to check thread plug gauges in at least most UK Calibration Labs, except Carl Zeiss machines are more generally seen.
