Dial Bore Gauge


Dial or Vernier Bore Gauge - Cylinder Wall Micrometer


ALT TEXTA dial or vernier bore gauge directly measures a cylinder bore.



How to use a Dial Bore Gauge:

ALT TEXTMany dial bore gauges are self centering and will give readings as accurate as to within one ten thousandth of an inch, if a high quality dial indicator is installed in the gauge. Measurements are taken at the top and bottom of the cylinder bore both perpendicular and parallel to the centerline of the motor.
