Wondering what gauge wire or sheet you need? Or maybe you need to identify the gauge of something you already have. A sheet and wire gauge or set of calipers are great options!

Just remember determining the size of a drill bit, be sure that you are able to twist it in the slot. :)

Happy Smithing!
