Dimensional Calibration
The discipline we were founded on in 1968.
American Gage began as a dimensional calibration laboratory supporting aerospace manufacturing in Orange County, and dimensional work remains the highest-volume workload we handle. From a machinist’s calipers to master gage block sets, every hand tool that arrives in our lab is cleaned, lubricated where appropriate, and calibrated against NIST-traceable standards in an environmentally controlled dimensional lab. Minor repairs and battery replacement are included with calibration for most major brands.
| Calipers | Up to 60 in |
|---|---|
| Surface plate lapping (small plates) | to ±0.0001 in |
| Repair parts stocked | Mitutoyo, Starrett, Interapid, SPI |
Reference standards in this lab
Master gage block sets
NIST-traceable length standards maintained in a temperature-controlled dimensional lab
Surface plate resurfacing
In-lab lapping of small granite plates to ±0.0001 in; on-site resurfacing for larger plates to the desired class
