Today I bought some CL tooling. Inside a cabinet was this Mitutoyo Dial Snap Gage #201-151 with an indicator, in it's original box and packaging, in almost unused condition. I do not know the intended use of this measuring device.
I looked it up on the Mitutoyo web site and read that it was "designed for quick GO/NG judgement of diameters of cylinders and shafts in machining processes".
My limited experience interpretation of that explanation, is that it is for quick measuring to see if a part is within tolerance, perhaps in a production setting.
Can someone tell me if this is something that I would realistically use in my home shop?
MSC is showing this snap gage with the indicator for $615.
If anyone can give me more information on the use of the snap gage it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Larry
