Deciphering the Kafer code |
 |  |
Unfortunately, most of Kafer's gages do not have model numbers printed anywhere on them. It can be difficult to figure out what you have in your hands when the time comes to replace them or when you need a spare part. In their catalog, Kafer uses a complex code of letters and numbers. Here's what some of them mean: - A = ANSI standard 4-48 thread, .375" stem diameter
- D = digital indicator
- F = Feinmessuhr indicators reading .0001" or 0,002 mm or better
- K = klein small bezel diameter of 40 mm (1-9/16")
- O = ohne Zollschaft metric stem diameter 8 mm and M 2,5 thread
- M = metric reading
- T = Toleranzmarken with tolerance markers
- Z = Zoll inch reading
- LB = lug back (must be specified when ordering gage)
- FS = bezel lock screw (must be specified when ordering gage)
