#9600 Drill Point Web Thickness Gage System
The #9600 Drill Point Web Thickness Gage provides a fast, accurate, and repeatable method for measuring drill point web thickness on self-drilling screws.
Designed for use with either mechanical dial indicators or digital indicators, the 9600 Series delivers consistent measurement results across its full travel range.
The system has a measurement range of 0 inch to 3/8 inch (9.5 mm), making it suitable for a wide range of drill point sizes used in industrial fastener production.
Engineered for durability, the gage is portable yet rugged enough for harsh manufacturing environments. Protected precision stroke bearings and a controlled spring force mechanism ensure consistent measurement pressure and repeatable readings.
Ideal for:
• Self-drilling screw manufacturers
• Automotive fastener suppliers
• Construction fastener producers
• Quality inspection departments
• Tooling validation applications
