Value Collection 636-0800 Round Steel Gage Block 0.08 in Grade B

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 636-0800 is a round steel gage block ground to a nominal size of 0.08 inches with a Grade B accuracy classification. Gage blocks are dimensional reference standards used to verify, calibrate, and set measuring instruments to a known length. This block is manufactured from steel, providing the hardness and dimensional stability required for reliable use in shop-floor inspection and metrology applications. Grade B tolerance makes it suitable for general inspection and setting work where laboratory-grade (Grade AS or Grade A) precision is not required. Machinists, quality control technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of block.

This gage block is intended for use in machine shops, production inspection areas, and trade training environments where a compact, single-size reference standard is needed. Its round form factor is common for individual Jo-blocks used for quick setups, comparator settings, and instrument verification tasks. It is sold as a single piece, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing gage block set.

Key Features

• Nominal size of 0.08 inches provides a precise dimensional reference for setup and inspection work
• Grade B accuracy rating meets general-purpose inspection and calibration requirements
• Steel construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance expected in shop-floor use
• Round form factor is compatible with standard gage block holders and comparator setups
• Single-piece packaging allows individual replacement without purchasing a full set

Compatibility

Designed as an individual replacement or supplement block for use with standard round steel gage block sets in general inspection and metrology applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are precision instruments and should be handled by qualified metrology or inspection personnel. Before use, clean mating surfaces with an appropriate gage block cleaner to remove oils and debris that can affect dimensional accuracy. Store the block in its protective case when not in use to prevent corrosion and surface damage. Do not wring this block to other blocks of dissimilar material without verifying compatibility, as surface damage can result.
