Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of drills is this 118° drill gauge compatible with?
A: This drill gauge is designed for standard 118° twist drill bits with a diameter of up to 50 mm. It covers a measuring range of 0–20 mm, making it suitable for the most commonly used drill bit sizes in woodworking, metalworking, and general DIY applications.
Q: How do I use the double-sided drill gauge to check a drill bit?
A: Simply place the drill bit tip into the corresponding slot or notch on the gauge that matches your desired drill diameter. The engraved diagrams on the tool illustrate exactly how to position the bit. One side checks the cutting-edge angle; the other checks the center (grinding) angle. If the drill point fits flush and symmetrically within the gauge, your grind is correct at 118°.
Q: Is this drill gauge suitable for use with a drill sharpening machine?
A: Yes — this gauge is the perfect companion to any bench grinder or drill sharpening device. After sharpening, use the gauge to verify that both cutting edges are symmetrical and ground to the correct 118° angle before returning the bit to service.
Q: Will the stainless steel gauge rust or warp over time?
A: The gauge is made from quality stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and bending. With normal workshop use and basic care (keep it dry and store in the included bag), it will maintain its accuracy and shape for years.
