Starrett Telescoping Gage with One Arm - Ideal for Determining True Size of Holes, Slots and Recesses - 1-1/4" - 2-1/8" Range, 2-3/8" Handle Length - 229C

The Starrett 229 Telescoping Gage is used for determining the true size of holes, slots, and recesses up to 6" (150mm). The ends of both contacts are hardened and ground to a radius to allow proper clearance on the smallest hole the gage will enter. This tool must be slightly rocked in the hole being measured to ensure that the tool is on the proper diameter before it is locked and withdrawn. The final hole size is obtained by measuring over the gage contacts with a micrometer. 1 1/4"-2 1/8" (32-54mm) Range, 2 3/8" (60mm) Handle. Hole gages help determine the diameter of a hole. While their function is similar to bore gages, they are less precise, much simpler tools that require measurement of a transferred dimension.
