Surface Comparison Plates "Vertical Milling" – 6‑piece set, Ra 0.4–12.5 µm | Metav IndustryLine

A Surface Comparison Plate "Vertical Milling" set for rapid verification of surface roughness on milled components and routine shop‑floor quality checks

• Six reference grades 12.5–0.4 µm Ra
• Purpose‑designed for vertical milling inspections
• Compact set for workshop quality control

Rapid, measurable assessment of surface finish

The set offers a clear scale of reference grades that represent common milling finishes, from coarse to fine. With nominal Ra values of 12.5, 6.3, 3.2, 1.6, 0.8 and 0.4 µm, the plates allow immediate visual and tactile comparison against workpieces, accelerating decision‑making in production and inspection. The defined steps correspond to industry recognitions (AA grades 500 / 250 / 125 / 63 / 32 / 16), providing a reproducible baseline for acceptance criteria and reducing subjective judgement during surface checks.

Practical design for everyday workshop use

Designed for routine use in machining environments, the comparators are intended for direct application in vertical milling contexts. The robust, compact format suits bench‑top or portable inspection workflows, keeping handling time to a minimum. Because the set groups the most commonly required roughness levels, it streamlines in‑process control and incoming inspection alike, supporting faster throughput and fewer call‑backs. The low overall mass supports easy storage and quick deployment at the machine or inspection station.

How the plates support quality assurance processes

Use the plates for side‑by‑side comparison to confirm that finishing operations meet specified roughness bands, or to check the effect of cutter geometry and feed/speed adjustments after test cuts. The collection is a pragmatic complement to profilometers where fast, on‑the‑spot decisions are needed: the plates provide an immediate reference that helps avoid unnecessary measurement cycles and supports consistent workmanship across teams. For formal documentation, these reference plates serve as a visual standard in quality reports and operator training.
