Can anyone recommend a chamfer gauge or have any recommendations on making one? I have a blind bore that's a little about 1.75" dia for instance. The hole has a very large chamfer around the top of the bore. The chamfer angle can vary from 20, 30, 38, or 45 degrees.
What do you recommend as far as a gauge to measure the depth of these chamfers? The actual print callout is from the bottom of the blind bore to the bottom of the chamfer. I suppose I could measure both of these off of the top of the plate.
Do you think I should just order one of the standard Starrett chamfer depth gauges from MSC and try it out? I'm a little concerned about the lack of a master they brag about. Do you think I should buy the stock gauge and make my own master? Do you think I should try to make my own tip and use a dial indicator/depth gauge?
Please share your thoughts.
