The Measuring Iron, as its name suggests, is used primarily as a fixed vertical reference surface from which work locating and machining measurements can be conveniently taken. Provided with standard removable keys and t-bolt, it can be quickly aligned with machine table slots and clamped in position. Machinists and toolmakers find that the Measuring Iron is a valuable accessory for precision boring operations. When clamped adjacent to work mounted on the machine table, with its vertical face parallel to a test plug in the spindle, it provides a positive means of measuring the location of the table or work. The narrow width of the Measuring Iron offers a convenient means of clamping work for machining, especially where table room is at a minimum. No. 9202 Measuring Iron is especially recommended for this use.

SPECIFICATIONS
