Fails: Gage R&R

In light of a gage R&R that will fail (will post the results when complete) on a $4K that someone in my company decided to purchase without the input of Quality, what has been the worst Gage R&R results you have seen from a gage?

  • Not machining quality related but, with my tire business, we have a calibrated check station to check customers tire gages. We usually see about 2 PSI off but last year we saw two gages that were reading 12 PSI high! That is huge when most pressure changes (due to wear and rider input) are 1 PSI. Pressure adjustments on my personal bike are about .5 PSI and, yes, I can tell the difference when riding.


    being 12 PSI off on tire pressure...while doing 150+mph on a motorcycle...that doesn't sound dangerous or anything! Rolling eyesRolling eyes
