Object, Brown and Sharpe Manufacturing Co, Universal Surface Gauge

Historical information

Used to lay out Machine work, or to set up pieces on a planer, radial drill, milling machine or boring machine.

To set the Scriber the spindle swivels down or up into any position where it is clamped by the knurled nut. There is a fine screw adjustment for the Scriber point (note: this is not original Scriber supplied with this instrument).

The base on this Surface Gauge can be set on cylindrical work, using the ā€˜Vā€™ groove in the base, or by pushing down the two gauge pins. It can be brought square with an edge or T slot.
