what is a drill gauge used for ?
A drill gauge is a piece of equipment used for measuring the size of a drill piece.
At school in engineering class we made our own drill gauge. Our drill gauge was made for measuring drill bits that ranged from 3 mm-10 mm
what did I use to make the drill gauge ?

| this is some of the tools i had to use |
engineers square
vernier
micrometer
file
sand paper
drill press
buffing machine
hammer during
micrometer and vernier caliper
these two measuring tools were used a lot during this project for measuring the drill bits and our work.

video link for how to use both the vernier caliper and the micrometer
drill gauge made on Tinkercad
during the process of making my drill gauge i was tasked with making a drill gauge with all the same measurements and drill hole sizes, on tinkercad which is a program where you can design anything you want and 3D print it.
below is a picture of my design and a link to the page so you can check it out for your self and use it if you want
what have i learnt? doing this project i have learnt how to measure using a micrometre and vernier caliper.
I like how you showed a photo of the tools you used and I like how you showed digital proto type of your work. Next time maybe write about how you used the tools to make the drill gauge.
ReplyDeleteit's a good blog and i like how you showed all the tools you used
