General Machining
ANSI ACME Straight thread gages
Insert Identification
The first step in the quality process is to ensure the threading insert being used is correct for the job.
Use the JSS™ Thread Insert Identifier Template to quickly verify that the correct threading insert has been selected as well as check the full topping profile of both internal and external inserts.
A quick mating of the insert to the template ensures the insert is correct for the job.
JSS™ insert identifiers have multiple notches on each template and are available for all ANSU thread forms.
Gagemaker’s rotary shouldered connection thread insert identifier easily determines which threading insert the machinist is using.
When an optical comparator is unavailable, the insert identifier will show which thread form is on the insert.
| Thread Type | Thread Form | Taper per Foot/Pitch | Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | Internal ACME | 3P, 3.5P, 4P, 5P, 6P, 8P, 10P, 12P, 14P, & 16P | TI-ACME-INT |
| Straight | Internal Stub ACME | 3P, 3.5P, 4P, 5P, 6P, 8P, 10P, 12P, 14P, & 16P | TI-SACME-INT |
Inspection Setup
The Thread Disk™ engineering software (TDWin™) calculates critical dimensions for threads based on ANSI tables and formulas. Thread types supported by the program include: UN, UNJ and UNR Series, Acme, Stub Acme, Stub Acme Modified I and II, Metric M & MJ, 7° X 45° Buttress, and General Purpose Pipe Threads.
To generate critical dimensions instantly, enter basic thread information on the Thread Type Entry screen, such as: thread type, thread class, nominal diameter, and threads per inch. once the results are computed, tabs at the bottom of the program allow selection of several types of calculated information, including dimensions and tolerances for product threads, ring gages, set plugs, plug gages or Gagemaker’s Thread Diameter gages.
If measuring internal and external shallow taper diameters is a problem, the Ball mic SET DIM Tool provides setting dimensions for ball micrometers or Gagemaker’s BX-1000 groove gage. The program calculates ball mic settings for any tapered surface geometry.
Other features of the program include the ability to print thread dimension reports, providing a paper copy of any calculation. These reports provide the same critical dimensions that display in the program. A multiple calculation window capability is a feature that allows performing several different thread calculation at the same time.

Functional Size Inspection
Functional gauging takes into account the cumulative effects of diameter, lead, taper, flank angle and form error. Experience the same functionality of ring and plugs with the added benefit of accurately inspecting a range of sizes.
Functional thread inspection gages, or GO/NO GO gages, measure thread diameters. These functional gages are adjustable within a size range and use interchangeable thread rolls to measure different pitch threads.
Setting dimensions for the functional pitch diameter gages are provided by the TDWIN Thread Disk™ software.
External Functional Size
These functional inspection gages measure external GO/NO GO thread diameters. Software, gages, and thread rolls are sold separately. For gages with ranges greater than 12”, please see our functional size product page. Higher resolution indicators are also available.[

Gagemaker recommends presetting (or setting) our gages with our MIC TRAC™ Gage Setting System, the MT-3000 Series*. Setting dimensions are found in the TDWIN™ software, sold separately. For additional gage setting system options and accessories, please visit our Gage Setting System product page.
Rod standards are available, but are made to order. For ordering individual rod setting standards, contact customer service and please specify size or specific connection with ordering.(Ex. 4 pitch ACME, 12 pitch UN Series, etc.)
*We now also offer the MT-100 gage setting device.
