A protractor is an essential tool to measure an angle. It’s also used to draw an angle. This tool has many applications and is used in engineering drawing, metalworking, woodworking, carpentry, etc. There are several types of protractors. The protractor used to measure an angle of 2D object (geometry drawing) is different from an angle … Read more
As we know that dial indicator is one of the most important measuring apparatuses in mechanical industries. We apply this precision instrument to check the runout between the workpiece surface and axis of rotation, clearances (distance between two surfaces), straightness, and many other tests. Every dial indicator component has its own importance. But the most … Read more
Dial bore gauge allows you to measure the internal diameter of a cylinder hole with better speed and accuracy compared to the telescopic model. As the name suggests, it comes with a dial indicator to display the reading in real-time. The long shaft lets you reach the internal diameter down the deeper area. Since it’s … Read more
A digital indicator is the electronic type of dial indicator. This model is excellent in terms of speed. Instead of reading the two scales, a digital indicator allows you to read the reading instantly on the screen which lets you quickly know the measurement result. You don’t need to manually read the smaller and the … Read more
Test indicator is a mechanical precision measuring tool in the workshop that you could use to measure runout, roundness, flatness, parallelism, and squareness. Its contact point touches the surface of object to measure, and it swivels up and down. When it comes to measuring in a higher degree of resolution, test indicator is a recommended … Read more
A dial indicator or dial gauge is able to magnify a tiny hard-to-observe length difference into a rotatable easy-to-count distance. When the plunger moves back and forth, it drives the needle/pointer on the dial scale to rotate. Nicely, this workshop precision measuring tool can give you a resolution down to .001″, even .0001″. By using … Read more
Sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes from sunlight. The black tint darkens the view and reduces the brightness to the level you are comfortable with. As a result, it’s not dazzling anymore, see the surroundings more easily, and avoid eye fatigue from prolonged exposure. However, there is an issue with the use. You cannot … Read more
Whether you are grilling a BBQ chicken in the backyard or using propane-powered appliances in your RV, it’s critical to regularly check your propane tank. The monitoring will permit you to schedule the refill. Most importantly, it’ll avoid running out when it’s been being used. There are several types of tools used to estimate and … Read more
A digital psychrometer is essentially the type of hygrometer. It’s the tool that is used to measure relative humidity. However, both of them are different in terms of how it works. The psychrometer does measure relative humidity by utilizing two thermometers called dry bulb and wet bulb. There are three types of psychrometer: Analog, Sling, … Read more
A T-square is a type of square tool to scribe a perpendicular line on a working surface (wood, paper, etc) that starts from the working surface edge (not the corner). Although it’s a square tool, its main purpose is not for checking the workpiece’s corner like the try square or speed square does. This tool … Read more
