T he Quality Sourcebook’s 2001 Gage Manufacturers Guide presents a wide assortment of gages from about 200 man- ufacturers. Each company listed has provided telephone and fax numbers and, in most cases, a Web address you can visit for further information. Gage types that don’t fit within our matrix categories are described in text blocks with their manufacturers’listings. To choose the right gage for your application, keep in mind these three requirements: the manufacturing or end-product priorities vs. critical characteristics to be gaged, specified part tolerance lim- its and characteristics to be gaged. For additional guidance, you may want to refer to Tom Stewart’s April 1998 article “Selecting the Right Gage,” which you can find at Quality Digest’s Web site at www.qualitydigest.com/april98/html/rightgag.html.
