Precision Thread Gages

Thread GagesTaperlock Thread Gages
Balax Taperlock Thread Gages are ground from hardened High-Speed Tool Steel blanks on proprietary Balax Thread Grinders. This unique grinding process provides an accurate thread pitch with less lead error than other grinding or gage manufacturing methods used today. Taperlock Thread Gages are available in ANSI sizes from 0-80 to 1-12 and in metric sizes from M1.6 x .35 to M12 x 1.75.

Extra Length Thread Gages
Balax Go Gages 4-40 (M3 x .5) thru 7/16 (M10) are made with a longer overall length that allows gaging to thread depths achieved with most standard tap dimensions.

Miniature Thread Gages
Balax Miniature Thread Gages come in sizes from 000-120 to 00-90 or 0.90 UNM to 1.40 UNM. They are manufactured from special high speed steel blanks using a special grinding process which assures a consistency and accuracy never before available with miniature gages. They are held in color-coded collet type holders.

Taperlock Oversize Pre-Plate Gages
Oversize gages come in sizes ranging from 0-80 to 1/4-28, or M1.6 x 0.35 to M10 x 1.5. They are designed for Class 2B fit with a 0.0003" plating thickness allowance. Metric pre-plate gages are designed to a 6G tolerance.

Certificate of Inspection
A Certificate of Inspection, furnished with every gage, assures the accuracy of your gage to "Class X" tolerance levels. Unlike most other thread gages, all Balax Thread Gages are furnished with actual fifth place (.00000) measurements of pitch diameter and major diameter.
