VERMONT GAGE

About VERMONT GAGE

VERMONT GAGE is a manufacturer of precision dimensional measurement tools, primarily known for its pin gauges and drill blanks. The company produces Class X and Class ZZ pin gauges in inch sizes, covering diameters from 0.0751 in to 1.0000 in, with tolerances as tight as 0.00004 in. These gauges are used for go/no-go inspection of hole diameters, slot widths, and other features in machined components. VERMONT GAGE also supplies high-speed steel drill bit blanks in wire sizes, such as #77 diameter, with tolerances of +0.0000/-0.0002 in, suitable for use as reference pins or custom tooling. All pin gauges are manufactured from uncoated steel and include a Certificate of Accuracy with NIST Traceability, ensuring compliance with measurement standards. The product line is focused on fixed-limit gauging, where the Class X designation indicates a tolerance of ±0.00004 in, and Class ZZ indicates ±0.0002 in. These tools are essential in quality control departments for verifying part dimensions in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. 3G Electric stocks a range of VERMONT GAGE pin gauges and drill blanks, offering individual gauges rather than sets, allowing procurement specialists to order specific diameters needed for inspection tasks. The gauges are 2 in long, with a plain cylindrical design, and are supplied without handles, intended for use with gauge handles or collets. The NIST-traceable certification provides documented accuracy for ISO-compliant quality systems. VERMONT GAGE products are built to ANSI/ASME standards for fixed-limit gauges, ensuring interchangeability and repeatability in measurement. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, these gauges are used to check wear on tooling, verify hole sizes after machining, and calibrate other measurement equipment. The availability of individual gauges from 3G Electric reduces inventory costs, as users can purchase only the sizes required for specific jobs. The drill blanks, made from M2 high-speed steel, can be used as plug gauges, dowel pins, or for creating custom inspection tools. Overall, VERMONT GAGE provides a straightforward, reliable solution for dimensional inspection without unnecessary complexity.
