Precision Brand® Thickness Feeler Gages are made from high carbon (C1095), close grain, spring steel. The high carbon content ensures that the material does not compress, producing consistent accuracy, which is the most important aspect of this precision measuring tool.

Is Feeler Gage available in metric thicknesses?
Yes, Precision Brand also offers a “true metric” size Steel Feeler Gage. It is made from material specifically manufactured in Europe to precise millimeter thicknesses. Precision Brand Steel Metric Feeler Gage enjoys the same exacting tolerances as its decimal counterpart.

Is Feeler Gage available in materials other than steel?
Yes, Precision Brand offers various types of feeler/thickness gage material for numerous manufacturing situations.

• Brass Thickness Gage will not create a spark when it is inserted. The non-magnetic and non-corrosive properties make its use in highly technical markets, such as electronics and mining, a must.
• Stainless Steel Thickness Gage withstands high temperature and is corrosion resistant. It is ideal for use in aircraft, power/utility, food, and marine industries.
• Plastic Thickness Gage is widely used in computer and automotive applications. Each thickness is color coded so that identification is quick and easy.

You can receive a brochure from Precision Brand Products, Inc. which outlines all the types of feeler/thickness gages offered, just by contacting the customer service department at (630) 969-7200 or e-mail us.

How is Feeler Gage packaged?
Precision Brand Products, Inc. offers a variety of packaging options for the feeler/thickness gage products, depending upon the material desired. Precision Brand® offers 5 inch and 12 inch blades, 25 foot coils, fan blade assortments, poc-kit® assortments and bulk material. You need to refer to the Precision Brand catalog, price book, feeler gage brochure or contact the customer service department at (630) 969-7200 or e-mail us for specific product offerings.

If you deal with exotic alloys like Inconel, titanium, Hastelloy, etc., this article is written especially for you. Wise operators always select the correct tool for the job, avoiding the problems others face when they try to apply a general-purpose tool to a unique situation. In this article, we give you the information you need to select the proper tools for machining exotics. It will make your shop stand out from the competition since you will produce better results at a reduced cost.

The Hard Stuff
Exotic alloys are specifically designed for high-temperature applications (think aerospace), performance in corrosive environments (think underground), or to have the highest available strength to weight ratios (think earth-moving applications). The machinability of these materials is NOT the first consideration. As much as it would be nice from the machinist’s viewpoint to have an aluminum firewall in a helicopter, as the pilot or passenger you want a material that is strong and heat retardant.
​

The Answer
One day a new job order comes in and you are faced with threading these kinds of alloys. What’s an operator to do? Fortunately for you, North American Tool manufactures application-specific thread mills right here in the USA.

These tools are made from solid carbide and have been specially designed with exotic materials in mind. The results are longer more consistent tool life and the elimination of scrap due to tap failures in your parts.

Uniquely Crafted
North American Tool thread mills for exotic alloys are designed with only three teeth. This places less stress on the tool than a conventional thread mill with six, eight, or ten teeth engaged in the workpiece at the same time. Carbide thread mills nickel-based alloys are also made with left-hand helix and left hand-cut, which permit an operator to run from the top of the hole to the bottom and climb mill the threads.

​This will create a right-hand thread on the part. The threads are milled, rather than cut, typically producing a better quality thread in the part.

The thread mills are coated with AlCrN to give them greater heat and wear resistance in the high heat, higher abrasive applications that typically confront an operator when machining exotic alloys.

Exotic Material Experts
As well as thread mills, we are the industry leader in designing and manufacturing special taps for exotic materials as well. Thread mills are a good alternative tool to the special taps we design every day provided of course, you have a 3-axis CNC capable of the interpolation tool path needed for thread mills.


If you are working with exotic materials and need a thread mill or special tap, please contact us for a quote. We’d be happy to help.

Advanced Chemical Solutions understands the challenge of lube oil leakage from the head stock system into the cutting oil, it's this intermingling of oils that can lead to premature tool failure, staining of metals, excessive smoking and an overall degeneration of your cutting oil. 

Advanced Chemical Solutions has formulated their multi spindle dual purpose oil to eliminate these issues. The use of our dual purpose oil as both lube oil and cutting oil assures excellent machinability while minimizing the likelihood of staining on the sensitive metals used in gear and hydraulic systems.

After extensive testing we have found:

• Tool life increased 40%, this is largely due to the cutting oil not being contaminated any longer by lube oil
• Reduced smoking, again lube oil tend to smoke when heated during the cutting process
• Reduction of fluids, same oil now for head stock and cutting
• Reduced misting of oil, we formulated with anti-mist additives
• Low odor, We use high grade base oils along with light color sulfur. (you don’t have to take the shop odor home anymore)

If you’re cutting extremely abrasive material, we’re confident that you’ve already investigated the benefits of carbide taps. Whether you’re tapping cast aluminum, nonferrous materials, polymers, cast iron, or any number of other materials, carbide taps offer better edge wear resistance and, more importantly, help to reduce downtime and increase profitability.

As an ISO 9001:2008 registered manufacturer, Allen Benjamin is absolutely committed to offering the best taps on the market. In today’s post, we’re going to look at a few of the benefits of using our carbide and high-performance taps.

Stronger
Ideal for very abrasive metals, carbide taps have a much higher tensile strength than standard taps. Because of this, they offer a longer tool life and work to reduce production costs.

Better performance
Due to their ability to increase tool life, carbide taps have a positive effect on your operation’s performance. Helping you to reduce maintenance and – by extension – downtime, they allow your staff to focus on more productive, more profitable tasks.

Cost-effective
While the initial cost may be higher than standard taps, carbide taps are far more cost-efficient in the long run. Their extended tool life results in fewer replacements which, of course, leads to less reorders and money saved over time.

At Allen Benjamin, we are steadfastly dedicated to our customers’ productivity. Always aiming to offer products that are capable of reducing maintenance, increasing uptime, and improving profitability, we strive to act as a convenient, responsive supplier of high-quality carbide taps. Whether you’re a small, local manufacturer in need of a handful of taps or a large, multi-national operation looking to place a large order, you can be confident that we can help. If you have any questions about our products, we encourage you to reach out to us today to discuss your needs!

Allen Benjamin’s carbide taps provide a substantial increase in performance and tool life over HSS – or high speed steel – taps. As a result, our customers experience longer tool life and, due to this, reduced production costs that help to contribute to higher profits and a more efficient line.
