Description More Accurate Than A Tape Measure Provides ease when checking track gauge intervals. Battery-powered laser unit measures gauge to within 1/32 in accuracy. An aluminum bracket with two rare-earth magnets holds Spot-Check on the rail. Two adjusting screws raise or lower the laser beam 20° with a laser range of 135 ft. Worker aims the laser beam at a point 5/8 in below the head of the opposite rail and reads the gauge. Readings can be saved for future viewing. Also useful for checking overhead and side clearance of tracks, as well as new rail construction.
