HOW TO USE:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface you are checking and the straight edge are clean and free of debris.
- Position the Straight Edge: Place the straight edge on the surface to be measured, ensuring it makes contact along its length.
- Use Feeler Gauges: Insert feeler gauges between the straight edge and the surface. Start with a thin gauge and gradually increase the thickness until you find the gauge that just fits snugly.
- Record Measurements: Note the thickness of the feeler gauge. This indicates the gap between the straight edge and the surface at that point.
- Check Multiple Points: Repeat steps 3 and 4 at various points along the surface to get a complete picture of the flatness.
- Interpret Results: Variations in feeler gauge thickness indicate unevenness or warping.
