Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.
The lap or lapping plate in this machine is 30 cm (12 in) in diameter, about the smallest size available commercially. At the other end of the size spectrum, machines with 2.4-to-3.0-metre-diameter (8 to 10 ft) plates are not uncommon, and systems with tables 9 m (30 ft) in diameter have been constructed.
Gauge block, (also known as a gage block, Johansson gauge, slip gauge, or Jo block) a precision ground and lapped length measuring standard. It is used as a reference for the setting of measuring equipment used in machine shops , such as micrometers , sine bars , calipers , and dial indicators (when used in an inspection role ).

The associated image is a set of pin gauges used to measure holes only a few millimeters in diameter. Pin gauges come in many classes and X, XX, ZZ, are a few examples. They are Go and NO Go pins, these pins can also have custom modifications. They are also used for the go/no-go assemblies needed in production manufacturing.
In electronics and particularly computing, a jumper is a short length of conductor used to close, open or bypass part of an electronic circuit. They are typically used to set up or configure printed circuit boards, such as the motherboards of computers. The process of setting a jumper is often called strapping. [citation needed]
A contour gauge set to the profile of a small pot A contour gauge. A profile gauge or contour gauge is a tool for recording the cross-sectional shape of a surface. Contour gauges consist of a set of steel or plastic pins that are set tightly against one another in a frame which keeps them in the same plane and parallel while allowing them to move independently, perpendicularly to the frame.
Stanley and Veritas marking gauges. A marking gauge, also known as a scratch gauge, [1] is used in woodworking and metalworking to mark out lines for cutting or other operations. [2] The purpose of the gauge is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge or surface. It is used in joinery and sheetmetal operations.
