ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring a linear dimension of a component includes a shaft, a worktable base for supporting one end of the shaft, and an end plate for supporting the other end of the shaft in spaced relation to a surface of the worktable. The device also includes a saddle movable along the shaft between the worktable base and the end plate. The worktable base includes a first support table, and the saddle includes a second support table, co-planar with the first support table. Each support table has a removable measuring pin extending upwardly at an angle substantially normal to the surface of the table. The support tables have a configuration designed to support at least a portion of the component in engagement with a respective measuring pin over a wide range of pin separations. A linear scale measures the linear displacement of the measuring pins and provides an indication of the linear dimension of the component.
