Our knowledgeable sales and engineering staff are ready to assist with your special gage applications and technical questions.

Gage Maintenance

Gages should be handled and stored properly for maximum life. However, gages do wear and should be calibrated periodically to ensure that they are still within gaging tolerance. Swanson Tool has full calibration services and an extensive inventory of thread setting plug gages for inspecting thread ring gages. If a thread gage is found out of tolerance, we can either recondition it or replace it (typically only thread rings can be reconditioned).
