Radius gauges is a measuring tool used to measure the radius of curved parts/objects. In other words, it measures the concave and convex radius or fillet of metal objects. It applies to many things like hinges, buckets, tools, wooden patterns, taps and dies. The radius gauge is usually combined with a fillet gauge, making the cluster in rounding design. Users can also use this tool to measure the inner radius, while a fillet gauge measures the outer radius.
The construction of a radius gauge is the combination of 2 gauges consisting of the number of steel strips or blades screwed together in a single holder system.
The tool provides the measurement in metric form and is measured in mm (millimetre).
It is mainly made up of stainless steel material, and therefore, it is corrosion and rust-resistant.
Radius gauges come in different forms, like cutouts (projections) on edges, sets, or individual blades.
Inspectors, toolmakers commonly use the tool and die sinkers for checking angles.
Radius gauge is also used for carpentry while checking the radius of work-piece on a lathe,
Gauge for circular grooves has a semi-circular measuring part used to measure the outer diameter of pipes.
Gauge for angular grooves has a quarter circle shape that can measure objects like corners of desks, etc.
Integrated-type of gauge for circular grooves a
d angular grooves at left and right, where each gauge has 10 blades.
Insize 4801 17 - 1 to 7 mm Radius Gauge – It is used to inspect layouts, tool radii, and pattern radii. It helps open or close by a locking nut. The blades are the main parts used to measure fillets or radius against shoulders or corners.
Groz RDG 16 7.5 15 - 16 Pairs Radius Gauge is useful for measuring external and internal radii. The gauge has a stainless-steel construction with leaves etched, and dimensions are measured in millimetres. This radius gauge is mainly used by tool and die makers, screw machine operators and pattern makers.
Mitutoyo 186 105 - 1-7mm, 180 Degree Arc, 34 Pairs Radius Gauges – It comes with 17 leaves on either side that are neatly designed to give a clean look. The built quality of this tool is robust and durable. Mitutoyo radius gauge can also be used as a layout tool in various sectors. It is one of the most effective testing and measuring equipment.
