Vermont Gage 141208350 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.0835in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141208350 is a Class X Minus pin gage measuring 0.0835 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch surface finish. Class X Minus designates a tight unilateral minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches, making this gage suitable for high-precision inspection work. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy traceable to NIST, supporting documented quality control programs. Licensed metrologists, quality technicians, and calibration lab personnel are the primary users, though precision machinists and toolmakers also rely on pin gages for direct part inspection and go/no-go checks.

This pin gage is used in calibration laboratories and on production floors wherever a verified reference dimension of 0.0835 inches is required. Typical applications include checking bore diameters, verifying hole locations, calibrating measuring equipment, and performing attribute inspection of machined or drilled features. The 2-inch length provides adequate handling clearance for most bench and fixture-based inspection setups. This size range is common in light manufacturing, aerospace component inspection, and precision instrument shops.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches for high-accuracy go/no-go and calibration use
• Tool steel construction for hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
• 4 microinch surface finish for consistent, repeatable gage contact
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for quality documentation
• 0.0835-inch diameter, 2-inch length suits bench and fixture inspection setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reference gage for use with standard pin gage handles, gage blocks, and calibration fixtures that accept 0.0835-inch diameter pin gages.

Installation Notes

Pin gages should be handled with clean cotton gloves or lint-free cloths to prevent corrosion and dimensional error from skin oils. Store in a protective case away from temperature extremes to maintain dimensional stability. When inserting into a bore or fixture, apply only light, even pressure — forcing the gage can damage both the gage and the workpiece. Calibration intervals should follow your facility quality plan and applicable standards such as ASME B89.1.5.
