TiN COATED GAGES LAST LONGER AS A VISUAL CHECK FOR WEAR
Swanson Tool Manufacturing’s High-Speed Steel TiN Coated Thread Gages offer significant savings over tool steel gages because they last up to 10X longer. The TiN (titanium nitride) coating is recognized for its enhanced lubricity, corrosion resistance, and is harder than both chrome and carbide material.
Comparative ID/OD Gaging
Part two of our series on various measurement processes examines the factors that must be considered when selecting ID/OD comparator gages.
