Pin Gauge Buying Tips

As you may already know these are used  for measuring small holes primarily. They can also be used for setting up a micrometer to make sure it is reading accurately. They are almost always sold in sets though you can buy replacement pins, though can be difficult to source.

Minus means less than two thousands of an inch and plus means plus two thosands of an inch. The minus tolerance is more suitable for measuring small holes.

As most of you will know for holes less than an inch. measuring the internal dimensions of a hole with callipers is never going to be truly accurate. That is where pin gauges can really help you out.

Some sets come wrapped in paper to prevent rusting and that can be annoying to remove. We recommend doing that and then keeping the pins lightly oiled, and then store them somewhere dry.
