Manufacture of a metal drill gauage



Drill Gauge Revision Blog.
Last term for tech we had to create a drill gauge during this process I learnt many different things such as finding what a micrometre and vernier are and how to use them appropriately

What I found hard while creating my drill gauge is getting all the drill hole with appropriate and even spacing in between each other. I overcame this problem by using an Engineers square, a scribe and a ruler to measure the distance between each gap.

Something that I have learnt on this topic is how to use a micrometre and a vernier calliper in the correct way to get accurate measurements.

 The tools we used are: Micrometer, Vernier Caliper, Engineer Square, Scribe, 300mm Rule, Centre Punch, Hammer and Odd Leg Calliper

MicrometreA micrometre is a tool used for the precise measurement of very small objects. A micrometre can measure the depth, length and thickness of whatever object fits between its anvil and spindle. How to use a micrometre video

Vernier: A Vernier calliper can be used to measure either the length of an object or depth of an object. The device consists of a main scale fitted with a jaw at one end and another jaw fitted with a vernier scale which moves over the main scale. How to use a vernier calliper video

Here Is My Own Design Of A Digital Design Of A Drill Gauge I Created On Tinkercad.

  1. I like your design I thought it was sort of cool how it is round. Use videos of yourself so I can have a good laugh. Overall I think you you did pretty good keep up the good work.

    1. Hey driaan thanks for the feedback i might decide to use a video of myself depending on situation.
