HAND THREADING AND REAMING

 

Quality Checks
Critical points to check

Surface finish

The surface can be checked with surface gauge or visually for finish.  Poor thread finish can lead to seizing up of threads.

Checking reamed holes

Reamed holes can be checked using measuring instruments such as vernier callipers, telescopic gauges or inside micrometers.  For quick checking, go/no-go plug gauges can be used
