Abstract: A fluid level measuring gauge for accurately measuring and reading a fluid level in a fluid level access chamber having one or more bends and interior chamfered shoulder zones, the fluid level measuring gauge including an elongate blade having an upper and lower portion where the upper and lower portions of the fluid level measuring gauge are in a constant twist formation for creating a nonwiping motion during insertion of the fluid level measuring gauge into and out of a fluid gauge access chamber, a flat shaped measuring region, including an upper port and a lower port in an up and down direction on the measuring region, a handle attached to the blade for controlled insertion and removal of the fluid level measuring gauge, and a spherical chamfer advancing guide affixed to the leading end of the elongate blade, opposite the handle.

Abstract: A method for pre-scribing a workpiece to facilitate chip breaking when machining the workpiece on the same machine with the same tooling used for cutting, utilizing an invokable CNC cycle of the CNC machine completing the workpiece machining.
