Tip of measuring plunger is made of carbide
The dial indicator is made up of jeweled bearings, and the ABS storage case comes with it
By measuring cylinder bores to a depth of 10", this gauge can be used to measure out-of-round conditions and cylinder tapers without the need to remove pistons - the gauge can even reach the critical wear areas of the cylinder. Maximum precision in the range of The range of values is from 0 to 0005. The conversion from 7 to 1 is 71.

Questions & Answers

Could this measurement be used to determine how much bore a shotgun barrel has?

There is no way to measure a shotgun barrel bore with this device. has a bore of 35mm, which is too small for an instrument of this size. The dial caliper is the best tool to use.

I'm looking for replacement spacers. Where do I get them? Some time ago, I bought this product and none of the spacers came with it. ?

There were also 2 blank spaces on mine. If you purchase them, it might cost a bit extra

Is it possible to measure cam bores with this tool?

There is no way it can. The type of tool I need isn't that one. Check out this tool to see what it can do for you. In a cylinder, equality

What is the best way to measure the cylinder bore of a v8 engine with this device? I am wondering if the readings would be accurate if we use such a device?

The diameter of your cylinder bore should remain within the range if you have the right size cylinder. There is a difference between accuracy and precision. There are many videos on the internet about the methods you can use to check the diameters of your bores and to determine if they are As well as a caliper, you will need a good level. Getting advice from a machine shop is a good idea if you have questions.

Selected User Reviews For HFS (R) Dial Indicator Bore Gage .0005" Gauge (0.7-1.5" range)

I am very happy with it
5/5

It took me a smudge to figure out what the max travel is with the mic out of the box, installing the 4 inch pin and comparing my mic to my gauge block. By setting the bore gauge to 4, I was able to zero the bore gauge. I know I have 4 bores from this gauge. The bore was checked and saw no signs of the taper on round 001. This is my first purchase and I am very happy with it. I am reringing the motor as I type. It was worth the forty dollars. Get one, you won't regret it. I would like to recommend it to all my engine building relatives and friends. To set it up correctly, you just need a micrometer/precision calipers and a gauge block. If you don't have them already, look into a Zeiko 8" caliper and maybe a 123 block with good reviews if you don't already have them.

Exactly the same thing happened to me! There were a few reviews stating that the kits did not have all the pieces, so I thought they might just have gotten the ones packaged up on Friday
3/5

That's what happened to me as well! There are only two pins left and all of the shims are missing since I never even took it out of the package! I'll give you the pieces back as soon as I find them.

The price is reasonable and the accuracy is excellent
5/5

The price is reasonable and the accuracy is excellent. The world contains far more accurate instruments than I am aware of. What I am saying is that I found this to work very well. This is what the bore measurement of a Chevy 350 small block looked like. As soon as I got my mic, I kept checking it frequently. There were no adjustments needed for the gage to remain accurate. In general, I think it worked out very well for someone who works on shade trees.

The quality of this game was surprising for the price
5/5

While I have plenty of Starrett, Mitutoyo, etc. tools in my toolbox, I needed a replacement bore gauge on short notice for checking and setting bearing clearance on an engine. I took a chance on this set and am extremely satisfied with it. This is a very well constructed instrument. The measurements are accurate and consistent. I wouldn't replace it with a more expensive model until I had to. This product worked great for me, and I don't see a reason to change it yet.

The gauge in the photo differs from the one in real life
3/5

As soon as you get this, you'll notice the gauge is different from the one in the picture. Unlike the picture, the one supplied does not have the substantial black guard that surrounds it. In terms of gauges, the supplied one is about what one would expect for the price. There are two moving black pointers on the rim that are useless while measuring since they are just glued on to the rim. It is easy to adjust the dial itself The mechanism is not the smoothest, but it is effective. One of the biggest problems I have with this is the spring loaded sled. There are a few sloppy details in it. However, considering the price they are reasonably priced, it is an adequate set for its purpose.

Make sure you do the job right if you want it to be good! During my work on a John Deere 40 Utility tractor, I noticed that it was overheating
5/5

The first thing I realized after assessing the problem was I would need to tear down the motor and make An edge of one of the pistons had been cracked, which caused a leak in the head gasket. My first move was to remove not just the head, but the pistons as well, and then to clean all the pieces to ensure I was doing all the right things. The first thing I did was clean the cylinder walls by honing them with a honing tool to remove any buildup inside. When I watched some YouTube videos, I realized that I had to take some measurements of the cylinder so as to be sure it was round and not egg-shaped. When I was looking for a dial bore gauge on Amazon, I ordered it in two days and received it the following day. In order to measure my tractor's two cylinders, I assembled, calibrated, and then took my measurements according to the instructions on how to use the gauge. It was so easy to use that I verified the tractor was ready to receive the repair parts in a matter of minutes. It is certainly a good idea for a first-time buyer of this type of tool to watch YouTube videos first because there are several videos about different types and brands of this type of gauge, and their descriptions were extremely.

There is a lot I like about There is a lot I like about Based on the number of holes in my lawn mover cylinder, I determined it had zero holes
5/5

It's a very small taper, so I don't think it's worth paying attention to. A cylinder made of aluminum is probably too delicate to be honed. The bore gauge set was used to determine which extension to use with this tool, then the tool was used as advised. The small spacers make it possible to adjust the length to fit the cylinder, which is a good thing. I was really impressed with the result.

The product is complete and working The parts were all included, the directions were clear, and the product came in good condition
5/5

*One possibility for those claiming they have missing parts is that one of the spacers did not come on the gauge leaving an open spacer slot, and another spacer slot has no You need to figure out what the problem is.
