MSC Industrial Gage Block Set 6″ Alloy Steel Precision Set 10 Sizes

Description

Product Overview

The MSC Industrial 6‑inch gage block set offers ten precisely ground heights from ½” to 1‑5⁄8″. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, each block is hardened to 52‑58 HRC and ground from stabilized stock, delivering parallelism within ±0.0002″ and paired height tolerance of ±0.0002″. The set includes a pair of each size, providing a reliable reference for dimensional verification, tool setting, and inspection in demanding industrial environments.

Usage

Designed for machinists, toolmakers, and quality inspectors, these gage blocks excel in CNC setup, jig building, and routine calibration of measuring equipment. Their compact 6‑inch length makes them easy to transport to the shop floor, while the robust construction withstands repeated handling and harsh workshop conditions. Whether establishing spindle offsets or checking part dimensions, the set delivers consistent results for precision engineering tasks.
