HALF-ROUND ACCESSORY JAWS

Half-round jaws are primarily used to make "go-no-go" or snap gages to verify the diameter of a
 hole.   The radius on the jaws is to allow the jaw to come into contact with the wall of the hole.
 This cannot be done with a straight jaw.

Gage blocks and half-round jaws are assembled into a combination.  The combination is
 inserted into a hole. Measurement is made by checking whether the combination fits into the
 hole, or it doesn’t.

The specified tolerance for half-round jaws is ±32µin. (±0.80µm).  However, because the
 distance over the roll of these jaws is so difficult to measure, Webber reduces our
 manufacturing tolerance to ±20µin. or ±0.50µm to allow for any measuring errors.

When these jaws are included as pairs in sets, they are matched together so that the sum of
 the errors is not larger than ±20µin. or ±0.50µm.  Thus, if one jaw measures +15µin., the jaw
 paired with it is not larger than +5µin.    It would be preferable to use a jaw with a negative
 measurement, if one was available.  Pairing jaws is done to reduce the accumulation of errors
 to the user.   (By specification, jaws sold as pairs must have a combined size tolerance not
 larger than ±40µin. or 1.0µm.)

For users ordering a single replacement jaw, the replacement will be within the normal tolerance
 of ±20µin. or ±0.50µm.
