Cross Hatch Angle Tool

The Cross Hatch Angle Tool by TOTAL SEAL is a precision inspection instrument designed for professionals who need to verify cross-hatch patterns on cylinder walls and engine bores. This clear plastic gauge measures angles from 0 to 30 degrees, making it essential for engine builders, machinists, and automotive technicians who require accurate honing verification. The tool addresses a critical quality-control need in engine reconditioning, where proper cross-hatch angle directly affects oil retention, ring seating, and long-term engine durability.

Manufactured from transparent plastic, the Cross Hatch Angle Tool provides clear sightlines for accurate angle assessment without obstruction. The 0-30 degree range covers the specification window required by most automotive manufacturers and performance engine builders. Its compact design—measuring just 3.15 by 3.85 inches—allows technicians to position the gauge directly against bore surfaces for quick, repeatable readings. The lightweight construction (0.01 lbs) means it's ideal for use on both horizontal and vertical honing setups without adding strain to delicate measuring operations.

Engine rebuilders and performance shops benefit most from this tool during final honing verification and quality acceptance stages. The Cross Hatch Angle Tool is used to validate that cylinder prep meets OEM specifications or custom performance requirements before piston and ring installation. This single-unit gauge becomes an indispensable reference for consistency across multiple engine builds, reducing rework and ensuring customer satisfaction on high-value reconditioning projects.
