Cutting Angle Measuring Equipment

Posted in: , on 5. Aug. 2009 - 22:07

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask you to help me if you can.

I am working for a tap producing company. We produce all kinds of taps for example M, MF, UNC, UNF, G, W etc.

We have a problem of measuring the cutting angle on the taps. We have got some old mechanic measuring equipment for cutting the rake angle but the are not really reliable because they use a hard metal needle (because it touches the tool lip) and if it wears down the measured angle won't be correct.

Could you offer me a simple and cheap measuring equipment for measuring the cutting angle in the case of taps?

These are forums related to bulk materials handling so it's doubtful if you'll get the answer you need here.

Suggest you look for another forum.
