ABSTRACT:
A gauge for setting the shut height of dies in a press including a body having a horizontal surface and a vertical surface, a dial indicator attached to the body having a plunger movable along a line parallel to the vertical surface, and a set bar having two surfaces parallel to the horizontal surface of the body and being receivable thereon with one of the two surfaces being vertically offset from the other a predetermined distance equaling the desired clearance between the end of the set block and the opposed die. With the dies separated, the set bar is placed on the body depressing the plunger and the gauge is mastered with the dial indicator being zeroed. The gauge is located on the set block with the one surface of the set bar contacting the end of the set block and the other vertically offset surface engaging and depressing the plunger. The set bar is removed releasing the plunger. The press slide is cycled to the bottom of the stroke and then moved toward the set block with the opposed die engaging and depressing the plunger until the dial indicator returns to zero. The die is thereby set with a gap between the end of the set block and the opposed die equaling the predetermined offset of the horizontal surfaces of the set bar.
