Bore Gauge: Transfer Gauges
Bore Gauge: Transfer Gauges
A bore gauge is a convenient term for the measuring or transfer tools that are used in the
process of accurately measuring holes.
Transfer gauges
Telescopic gauges
3 mm (0.125") to 5 mm (0.200")
5 mm (0.200") to 7.5 mm (0.300")
7.5 mm (0.300") to 10 mm (0.400")
10 mm (0.400") to 13 mm (0.500")
A range of interchangeable anvil pieces (for the telescopic part of the gauge) that
transfer their movement to a freely moving rod.
A body that includes a transfer mechanism (the movable rod)
A dial indicator mounted at the remote end (to measure the axial movement of the
rod).
This combination allows the bore size to be accurately read from the instrument with the
minimum of effort. The fixed end of the anvil piece has pressure fingers on either side of
it that assist correct placement in the bore, this reduces the reliance on feel by the
operator, as required when using the telescopic gauge.
