OVERVIEW

Eliminate Guesswork with the Miller Material Thickness Gauge

Every welder knows that setting up your machine correctly starts with knowing exactly what you are working with. The Miller Material Thickness Gauge (229895) is the "must-have" pocket tool that ensures you never have to guess again. Whether you are grabbing a scrap piece of steel from the rack or verifying a new shipment of sheet metal, this handy tool gives you an instant, accurate reading of the material's thickness so you can dial in your welder with confidence.

Designed for the practical fabricator, this gauge features clearly marked slots for all the most common steel thicknesses you'll encounter in the shop. It measures everything from thin 24-gauge sheet metal all the way up to 5/16-inch plate. No more eyeing it up and hoping for the best—just slide the metal into the slot and know for sure. But Miller didn't stop there; they also added slots to check your welding wire size. If you have ever mixed up your spools or lost a label, this tool quickly identifies .024, .030, and .035 wire, saving you from the frustration of using the wrong settings or contact tips.

Why You Need This in Your Pocket:

  • Accuracy: Get your voltage and wire speed right the first time by knowing your exact metal gauge.
  • Convenience: Small, lightweight, and hole-punched for a keychain, it goes wherever you go.
  • Durability: Made of tough metal, not plastic, so it won't snap or wear out in a rough shop environment.
  • Versatility: Handles both sheet metal and MIG wire measurements in one simple tool.

Don't let a bad guess ruin your weld or burn through your material. Equip yourself with the Miller 229895 Gauge and bring a new level of professionalism and precision to your fabrication projects. It is a small investment that pays for itself with every perfect bead you lay.
