How do you find out which gauge is smaller or larger. Do they have a guide for that?

Beads are measured using a tool called a sliding bead gauge, a type of caliper rule. A caliper rule is a measuring device which consists of a pair of jaws and a ruler. The top jaw is fixed, and the lower jaw slides down the length of the ruler. The jaws can be opened and then clamped lightly onto a bead to accurately measure its size. Beads are typically measured in millimeters, although many bead gauges provide measurements in both millimeters and inches. Bead gauges can be purchased at most craft stores or online. Seed beads (small beads), however, are usually measured in terms of the number of beads that can fit on a given length (usually one inch) of string. This is referred to as aught size and is written as "number/0" (eg. 11/0, or "11 aught", meaning 11 beads will fit 1 inch). There is an inverse relationship between the aught number and the bead size:the larger the aught size number, the smaller the bead.

I don't know for sure except we have mixed them up before and couldn't tell the difference, works just the same. I had to buy new hand set for the gauge with out a problem.

I wouldn't know myself, but on the listing it says this: Gauges : 12-16-25-32-42-54

They have a chart that tells you how to measure. If it is close to the high measure go to the next larger.

Your gauge may be broken. You will need to contact the company to have this part replaced.

The have 0.0015", 0.0025", 0.004", 0.005", 0.006" etc, but not the 0.003" gauge that I could see.

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

I basically use 24 and 26 gauge wire. The tools should be fine with larger gauge, but I would suggest getting a more heavy duty cutter for larger gauge.

Bigger is always better but the amp's terminals are made for 8 gauge, i run 4 gauge to a distribution block the from the distribution block to the amp i have 8 gauge, really its all in preference

There's a dial that goes, I think, from 1 to 20. It doesn't give measurements. I suppose one would have to test, perhaps by torquing a screw with a calibrated wrench and then seeing if the driver will unscrew it.

The guage is small - it fits in a hole of 2" or so - the other dimensions are totally misleading!

They are not all the same gauge. I'd have to open up the loom to verify the gauge, but, if memory serves me right, the lighting circuits were 12 (possibly 14) gauge, while the brake circuit was 10 (possibly 12) gauge. Sorry I can't be more specific. I hope this helps!

On the backside of the scale you'll see a small button. Simply depress and hold the button while viewing the display until the units of measure change.

If you're new to model railroading, "gauge" refers to the distance between the outside rails of your track. (Your train's wheels roll along these two rails; the third, or "inside," rail, if your set has one, is for power.) Gauge is not important for you to know unless you buy accessories for your train set. Those accessories have to be the same gauge as your train set. If you want to know more, I suggest you type your question, which is a good one, into your search engine (BING or GOOGLE for example). You will find your answers and more.
