The Top model has an integrated rotary tool holder which accommodates three standard cutters and one cross hatch cutter.

Coating Thickness Gauges - Destructive
Destructive thickness measurement is often the only guaranteed method available to test certain coating / substrate combinations including paint applied to concrete, wood, plaster, plastic etc. When it is necessary to measure the individual layer thickness of multiple-layer coating system, the most accurate method available is the Paint inspection Gauge (P.I.G) coating thickness gauge
