Why are Threads Inc. Gages Better ?

• All "catalog item" thread working plug  gages are chrome plated. Chrome plating  provides a more durable and "slippery"   surface which reduces wear on the threads. Much superior to non-plated steel.

• Thread ring gages are all manufactured from graphic tool steel which has a high carbon content and hard carbides for extra wear resistance. Part of the carbon content is in the form of graphite particles which are non-galling and provide lubrication of the gaging surface. Much superior to normal steel.

•  All thread setting plugs are precision lapped which provides excellent quality surface finishes on thread flanks, which translates into extra wear life.

• Thread ring gage minor diameters are ground concentric to the thread pitch diameter within .0002" on all sizes 1/4" and larger, not lapped like most other manufacturers. Lapping in this case causes an exocentric condition.

• All gages are subjected to two stabilization cycles to prevent any "creep" in the size of the gage

• All gages are built to the high side of the tolerance to allow for wear.

• All pages are 100% inspected for major diameter, progressive lead error, helix deviation, and flank angle integrity.

The result is a superior gage at moderate prices!
