What is a Feeler Gauge?
A feeler gauge is a measuring instrument made up of a set of thin, flat metal blades of varying thickness. These blades, usually made of high-carbon steel or stainless steel, are designed to measure small gaps or clearances between two parts. The blades are often marked with their thickness, either in thousandths of an inch or millimeters, allowing for precise measurement. They are commonly used in automotive, mechanical, and engineering applications where accurate gap measurements are crucial.
