MillerMiller Electric 229895 Gage, Wire Metal Sizes

Went to the metal scrap yard last week. Carried two indispensable tools with me; this sheet metal gauge and a tape measure. The gauge helped me sort through16ga and18ga plate in the rack. Very useful little tool! Thanks Miller.

One of these came with my new Hobart welder, it was printed Hobart not Miller. I thought it was a cool key chain. I lost it when I left it on the trailer and took off down the road. Don’t care about the keys but didn’t want to lose the key chain. I was surprised to find one on Amazon. So now I got my favorite key chain back.

I use it all the time. Perfect size

The gauge is made of metal and the numbers on the item can be seen, but need to be more legible. The item will help confirm the size of metal being worked with to determine how the metal should be welded.

Excellent service, fast ship

Now I can specify the sheet metal gauge that I'll need for my metal projects.

This is a must have in any tool boxThis is a good quality tool/gauge btw

I use this product for measuring thicknesses of sheet steel and tubing. I keep one at my desk for reference when reviewing plans or mockups for welding. This tells me at a glance immediately what type of wire and setting on a welder should be used - within a range. Miller includes one of these in every welder they ship, although I purchased this independently. While it is not micrometer accurate, most metal fabrication does not require that level of precision. This is just a tool to quickly identify metal thickness. The chart on the welder spool door should still be reviewed and then a test weld done to dial in the speed and voltage.
