What You Need To Know
At The Gage Lab, we intentionally use the spelling “Gage” rather than “Gauge” because in the manufacturing and metrology industries, “gage” specifically refers to precision inspection tools used to verify the dimensional accuracy of parts.
While “gauge” is the more general term (used for pressure gauges or measurement dials), “gage” has long been the accepted industry term for the specialized tools and systems that ensure products meet exact specifications.
In short:
Gauge = general measurement instruments
Gage = precision inspection and verification tools
Our name reflects our focus: dimensional measurement, precision, and performance.
Absolutely. Our independence allows us to integrate parts, systems, and components from multiple sources. Our goal is to deliver the most effective and precise solution for your project — even if that means combining parts from different suppliers. You get what works best for your application, not what someone else wants to sell.
