MasterGage/Professional Features A1
Your MasterGage/Professional is packed with exciting patented features that are built to last! The
body of the Professional is fabricated from rugged aircraft quality extruded aluminum. All sides
are ground flat, square and parallel to each other to within 0.001 inches [as a reference, the
human hair is 0.001 inch]. Once ground, the body is then machined to exacting tolerances
[0.0002 inches] on computer controlled [CNC] machinery, the surface is then plated with a
protective black anodized finish that also presents a superb black non-glare surface for easy
reading.
The unit is then precisely and permanently laser etched with scales that are in inches,
millimeters and degrees. This allows the Professional to be used on any equipment worldwide -
regardless of the measurement standards used.
The Professional has a new patent pending feature called Instant Recall™ that allows you to
recapture any height or angle very precisely. By aligning the location hole in the Memory Link™
to the precision hole of either the Protractor or Level Arm you can recall the angle or height with
remarkable accuracy and speed. There is capacity for three Memory Links on both the
Protractor and the Level Arm height gage.
The Professional body has extruded “T” slots in both the top and bottom surfaces, allowing the
owner to attach special magnets. These magnet accessories are very powerful rare earth
[neodymium boron] magnets that fit into the “T” slots. A valuable Accessory that insures rock
solid rigidity while making critical measurements.
The Protractor is high quality aluminum, red anodized plating with a hairline cursor for easy
reading of the laser-etched angles. The actual red hairline is only 0.003 from the laser angular
markings, thus eliminating any parallax difficulties. The angular markings are in ½ degree
increments. A ¼ degree can easily be read. The Protractor hasa stainless steel working edge
called a “knife edge”. This 1/16 thick piece of steel allows easy angular measurement, since it
easily fits between the carbon tips on the saw blade. By doing so, the knife-edge fits flat against
the body of the saw blade giving you an exact angular reading. The Protractor can measure
both acute angles [less than 90 degrees] and obtuse angles [greater than 90 degrees]. The
illustrations in this Manual will describe this feature.
The Level Arm is made of ½” x ¾” x 3 3/8 inch aircraft quality aluminum, hard anodized for
durability [hardness equal to sapphire]. The arm is spring loaded so that it automatically levels
itself for precise measuring. It never goes out of alignment. The Level Arm is self cleaning, it
glides through sawdust with ease and never clogs up.
Since all parts are so precisely made and interchangeable, a part made last year will fit a
Professional made today, next year and years to come! If a part is lost or damaged, it can be
quickly replaced by our factory.
We have made a great effort to present you with a truly remarkable tooling system that will
serve you and yours for generations to come.
