Some safety precautions to follow while using a digital indicator and bore gauge:
Before beginning:
• Inspect the tools: Don’t use a damaged bore gauge or digital indicator. Cracks, loose parts, or a malfunctioning
gauge can lead to inaccurate measurements and potential hazards.
• Cleanliness is key: Maintain the gauge and the workpiece in good condition. Dirt or debris can affect the
accuracy of the measurement.
• Work area prep: Ensure your workspace is clean, free of clutter, and well-lit. Adequate lighting will help you
see the gauge readings clearly and avoid mistakes.
• Stable footing: Make sure the work area floor isn’t slippery and wear non-slip shoes to prevent accidents.
While using the bore gauge:
• Be gentle: Avoid dropping the bore gauge. These instruments are precision tools and can be damaged by
rough handling.
• Squared away: When using the bore gauge, ensure the anvils are square to the bore for an accurate
measurement.
