Vermont Gage 141208700 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.087 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141208700 is a Class X Minus tolerance pin gage designed for high-precision dimensional inspection. Manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch surface finish, this pin gage measures 0.087 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length. It carries a tolerance of -0.00004 inches, meeting Class X Minus specifications for applications where tight dimensional control is required. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability, making it suitable for use in calibrated measurement environments. Licensed metrologists, quality technicians, and toolroom machinists are the primary users of this type of gage.

This pin gage is used to calibrate measuring equipment or to directly gage part features such as holes, slots, and bores in manufacturing and inspection settings. It is appropriate for both production floor inspection and laboratory-grade metrology work. The 0.087-inch diameter targets precision-drilled hole checks and go/no-go verification tasks in tight-tolerance machining and assembly operations across a range of industrial applications.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance at -0.00004 inches for high-accuracy dimensional checks
• Tool steel construction for durability and wear resistance
• 4 microinch surface finish for consistent, repeatable contact measurement
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability
• Compact 2-inch length suited for benchtop and in-process inspection

Compatibility

Designed for use in calibration of measuring equipment or for directly gaging parts requiring a 0.087-inch diameter reference in Class X Minus tolerance inspection workflows.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled and used by quality technicians and toolroom personnel following established metrology procedures. Keep the gage clean and lightly oiled when stored to prevent corrosion on the tool steel surface. Do not force the pin into a feature; if resistance is met, the hole is undersized relative to the gage diameter. Store in a protective case away from impact, extreme temperatures, and contaminants that could affect surface finish or dimensional integrity.
