What are you using a radius gauge for? Another one of those items I can't think of a purpose for.
Radius gauges are very useful. It's one of those things that I personally don't use that often but when I need to I'm glad I have them. They're for, well measuring radii of course. Not a real necessity unless you are making parts where you need to make the radii exact or copying a part & you need to know a radius size. Other ways around it, you could just use a piece of round but the guages are nice & easy to handle.
I didn't get me a set until I got me a set of corner rounding end mills & some radius turning tools. But even though a set of radius gauges aren't needed just having these cutters IMO.
A set like Randy's is pretty expensive. I have a full set by Mitutoyo. I waited patiently to find a nice set on ebay.
