           ALTERNATE 
            METHODS OF INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE SHORTCOMMINGS OF THE PROCESSES:
        
         
           
            Small 
              hole gages used by experienced inspectors are capable of detecting 
              very small pockets and improper tapers in cavities. The person doing 
              the inspection must be competent to detect this and the problem 
              can be overlooked even by the most experienced. The size of the 
              pocket is also very hard to determine by this approach. If the buyer 
              does not have extensive experience knowledge of this procedure, 
              the discipline to quality of the Die provider must be weighed before 
              the purchase is made. 
           
         
       
       
         
          
             
              Adjustment 
                  ratchet to facilitate 
                  small changes on gage size. 
                  
                  
                  
                Small 
                  diameter bore gage. The ability of this instrument to detect 
                  small diameter changes is determined by the skill of the person 
                  using it.

              Cavity 
                  of die being inspected.  | 
             
           
          
         
       
       
         
          There 
            is very little in the way of alternatives for the surface finish other 
            than machines made for this procedure. These surface finish gages 
            have limitations on the ability to penetrate the size holes that are 
            most prevalent in the industry. Again, as with the integrity of the 
            bore discussed above, if the buyer does not know the die, he must 
            have intimate knowledge of his supplier.
