What are gauge blocks used for?

Gauge blocks are used to set a variety of measuring instruments. Gauge blocks set precise angles for sine blocks and are used to set snap gauges. Gauge blocks can be stacked and assembled into precision height gauges for layout. They can also be used as auxiliary measuring systems for machines and tooling.

Why do gauge blocks stick together?

The sources of the forces holding gage blocks together are thought to come from: 1) Air pressure from the surrounding environment as the air is squeezed out when the blocks are slid together. 2) Surface tension from oil that remains on the gage blocks or water vapor from the air acts as a glue to hold them together.

What is a surface plate used for?

Surface plates are flat and plane surface used as a horizontal reference space for dimensional measurement, it's a base for inspection, toolmaking, gauging, spotting, marking, and layout. They can be made from granite, metal, cast iron, or glass.
