Groove Micrometers

Groove micrometers measure the width of a groove. Those in manufacturing and engineering use them to ensure that a component is a correct size.

A groove micrometer measures the width of a groove with a stylus, which goes in the groove and moves along its length. The stylus has a fixed point at one end, while the other end adjusts to meet different dimensions.

The best applications for these micrometers are any task where you need to check the size of grooves or slots on your product. This could include checking holes drilled through metal and plastics or checking bolt threads for proper fit in a nut.
