The basics of feeler gauges - the very simple "go/no-go" tool to measure the gap between things.
This video is just a quick overview of what you're looking at with a feeler gauge set -- I go into usage in this video: • Precision Straightedge...

I’ve been going through watching all of your videos and I have to say that I’m totally addicted. I was quite surprised to see that I wasn’t watching a channel with 100k subs or more, as all of the videos are super high quality and well made. Keep up the good work! I think this channel is going places.

so what about the go no go part?

Nice video. But you left out combining the gauges to get a thickness not includ ed in the set. For instance if you wanted to measure 0.1 inches you combine the point .035 + .032 + .018+ .015 gauges

Hi can this be used in measuring the air gap length of a transformer?

@JustToolBasics 2 жыл бұрын

Normally transformer air gaps are measured via inductance measurement, not a physical probe.

Then, sure, you could use a feeler gauge if you can access the air gap...but most "air" gaps actually have something placed between the two sides of the transformer (plastic, paper, wood, etc), so accessing it directly isn't an option in those cases. Also, importantly, the physical air gap length doesn't tell you much without knowing the number of windings, etc.
