Spi 34-658-5 Plug Thread Gage Handle Size 6

Product Description

The SPI 34-658-5 is a size 6 plug thread gage handle designed for use with 2-1/2 - 8 plug thread gages. Constructed from steel, this handle provides a durable and rigid grip for technicians performing thread inspection tasks on the shop floor or in a quality control environment. The handle ships with a Certification of Inspection traceable to ANSI and NIST standards, making it suitable for calibrated inspection processes. At 1 pound, it offers a solid feel without adding excessive weight during extended use. Machinists, quality control inspectors, and tool-and-die professionals will find this handle a reliable fit for standard thread verification work.

This handle is intended for use in manufacturing, machining, and industrial inspection settings where plug thread gages must be operated repeatedly and accurately. The size 6 designation corresponds to the grip diameter suited for 2-1/2 - 8 thread gage plugs. It is appropriate for both production-floor spot checks and formal incoming or outgoing inspection routines that require documented traceability to national standards.

Installation Notes

Thread gage handles are typically installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, or tool room personnel. Before mounting a gage plug, ensure the shank is clean and free of debris to avoid measurement error or damage to the gage. Follow the gage manufacturer's instructions for proper plug insertion and locking. Handle and gage should be stored in a clean, dry environment to preserve calibration integrity.
