M318.046 — Tapered bore gauge (3–15 mm), 0.1 mm graduation

The M318.046 is a compact conical bore gauge designed for precise checks of small cylindrical bores in workshops and quality control stations.

• Conical taper 1:10 for accurate centring
• Measurement range 3–15 mm for small bores
• Graduated at 0.1 mm for clear readings
• Matt‑chrome cone and anodised aluminium handle

Reliable centring and quick pass/fail checks

The conical geometry with a 1:10 taper produces a self‑centring action that simplifies alignment inside small bores. Combined with the 3–15 mm range and a 0.1 mm graduation, this configuration enables rapid comparative checks and straightforward go/no‑go assessments during assembly or incoming inspection. The instrument functions as a compact, tactile gauge: when the cone seats, the operator receives immediate positional feedback, reducing the need for repeated probe adjustments and shortening inspection cycles.

Compact format for fine mechanical applications

Classified in the Mikro group, the gauge covers the small‑bore segment where stiffness and handling are decisive. With a cone length of 135 mm and an overall length of 190 mm, the tool offers a slim envelope and a low mass (approx. 0.12 kg), which improves manoeuvrability in confined assemblies and during delicate measuring tasks. The lightweight anodised aluminium handle ensures comfortable one‑hand operation while the matt‑chrome plated steel cone resists wear and provides consistent contact behaviour over many cycles.

Built for reproducibility and shop endurance

Materials and form factor focus on repeatable results and a long service life. The matt‑chrome cone delivers a hard, wear‑resistant contact surface and stable friction characteristics, while the anodised aluminium handle reduces corrosion risk and improves grip. Supplied under the Metav IndustryLine umbrella, the instrument benefits from Metav’s quality filtering and European distribution, ensuring dependable availability for production lines and inspection benches. The compact tapered design therefore balances precision, durability and everyday usability for small‑bore measurement tasks.
