Big Kaiser’s Dyna Contact ceramic taper gage allows inspection of machine spindle tapers at a glance. It is a precise gage used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.

A layout dye is applied to the gage before inserting into the machine spindle. Upon removal, an operator can check for taper contact and determine if the machine spindle will have proper contact with tool holders. The gage is also compatible with all steep taper specifications, including CAT, BT and DIN.

The ceramic material of the gage makes it more thermally stable than steel. This taper gage is also rustproof, 10 times more wear resistant than steel and not subject to age deterioration.
