The Woodward Fab WFSG Sheet Metal Thickness Gauge is a fundamental shop-grade reference tool engineered for professional automotive and industrial technicians. This robust gauge enables quick and accurate confirmation of sheet metal thickness before crucial cutting, forming, or welding operations, ensuring precise material handling and consistent project outcomes. It helps technicians select appropriate machine settings and processes with confidence.
Key Features
- Durable Steel Construction: Crafted from resilient steel, this gauge is designed to withstand the rigors of busy fabrication, collision repair, and welding environments, resisting bending and damage.
- Clear, Engraved Gauge Markings: Features permanent, easy-to-read engraved markings for common sheet metal thicknesses, catering to automotive, industrial, and HVAC applications. It offers a dual-scale readout, displaying both gauge (0-30) and decimal inch (.0125"-.3125") scales for versatility.
- Compact & Portable Design: With a 3 1/4-inch diameter, this gauge conveniently stores in a toolbox, tool cart, or service truck, optimizing workspace availability.
- Rapid Material Identification: Facilitates quick verification of actual sheet thickness, supporting accurate amperage, wire size, and machine setup for MIG/TIG welding, bending, or shearing operations.
- Consistent, Repeatable Readings: Promotes standardized operations across multiple technicians and workstations, contributing to predictable results and enhanced quality control.
Applications
This gauge is ideal for collision repair, vehicle restoration, and custom fabrication on a wide range of domestic and import vehicles, including use on body panels, patch panels, fenders, doors, floors, and light structural areas. It is commonly utilized at the shear, brake press, roller, and welding station to verify material stock before forming or joining. Furthermore, this tool is suitable for light manufacturing and incoming inspection, confirming sheet metal meets specified thickness requirements prior to production.
