Silverline Drill Gauge 1 - 13mm (598570)

Product Information

These specialist drill bits are used for drilling centre holes at two different angles, 60 degrees and 90 degrees. They are commonly used to drill lathe centres and spotting drills, i.e.marking holes to guide twist drilling.

Set the drill bit to the correct depth – always set the drill bit to the correct depth before drilling. To make things just a little more complicated, not all drill bit sizes are in North American fractional measurements.A drill gauge is a tool used to measure the size of the drill bit that is being used in a drill. It is an important tool for any woodworker, metalworker, or DIY enthusiast who needs to accurately measure the size of the drill bit they are using. A drill gauge is used to accurately measure the size of the drill bit and ensure that it is the right size for the job. It is also used to measure the depth of the hole being drilled, ensuring that the drill bit is not too deep or too shallow. With the help of a drill gauge, a woodworker, metalworker, or DIY enthusiast can make sure that the drill bit they are using is the right size for the job. Definition of Drill Gauge Letter gauge drill sizes are used primarily in North American with A starting with the smallest size working 26 size increments to Z. Gauge Plastic – Plastic is another material that a drill gauge can be used on. Plastic is relatively easy to drill, but a drill gauge can still be used to ensure the hole is the correct size. Say, for example, a typical 29-piece set. In the following drill bit chart are the typical fractional sizes this kind of set would include.

The drill gauge has two parts: a sliding scale and a stationary scale. The sliding scale is adjustable and can be moved up and down the drill bit. The stationary scale is fixed and indicates the diameter of the bit. To measure the drill bit, the user must place the drill bit into the gauge and adjust the sliding scale until it fits snugly. The diameter of the bit is then read off of the stationary scale.

A drill point gauge is a tool that helps you measure the angle of a drill bit. This is important because the angle of the drill bit will affect how well the bit cuts through the material. If the angle is too shallow, the bit will not cut through properly. Step 5: Finally, carefully remove the drill point gauge from the drill bit and use the drill bit to commence drilling. The drill size chart below contains imperial and metric drill bit diameter measurements for all number and letter gauges. Gauge

Maintenance: Regular maintenance is also recommended to ensure that the drill gauge is in good condition and is providing accurate readings. Drill gauges are tools that are used to measure the diameter of a drilled hole. The accuracy rating of a drill gauge is a measure of how precise the measurements taken by the gauge are. A higher accuracy rating means that the measurements taken by the gauge will be more accurate.Then, rotate the gauge until the line on the side ofthe hole lines up with either 0° (for a 118° angle) or 45° (for a 135° angle). Finally, tighten downthe vise to hold everything in place and removethe gauge fromthe vise. Most commonly used in the US, but can still be found occasionally in the UK, these imperial measurement drill bits come in 1/64 inch increments. The fractions used are always in their simplest form, i.e. reduced as far as possible, so 2/64 becomes 1/32 for instance.
