| Ordering Information | |||
| A precision tool for inspection and thickness measurement (ASTM D4138) of single or multiple coats on any substrate, and for microscopic observation and measurement of substrate and film defects. Uses illuminated 50-power microscope with measuring reticle marked in English (mils) or metric (millimeters) units, and mounts tungsten carbide cutting tips for precise incision of the work surface. Available in machined aluminum (OG202) or in molded polycarbonate plastic (OG204).
Both versions of the Paint Gage come in a case with strap, spare batteries and bulb, hex wrench and technical data sheet. Standard cutting tips are 1×, 2×, and 10×. An optional 5× tip is available. Also, a gage can be ordered with three tips of the same size. |

OG202The original Tooke Gage is madeof machined aluminum. |
OG204This less-expensive gage is identical tothe OG202, but made of molded polycarbonate plastic. |
MG402 MicrogrooverThe Microgroover is a high-speed rotary tool for creating the small, almost microscopic, incisions required for measurements with the Tooke Paint Inspection Gage. This technique eliminates the deformations of coating and substrate which may occur when conventional gage cutting tips are used. Hard, brittle, tough, fibrous, tender, or elastomeric materials exhibit clean, non-tearing, controlled disintegration under the rotary cutter. The high-speed cutter erodes away surface material in a precise pattern, leaving adjacent and underlying areas undisturbed. |
