Nothing lasts forever, and so it is with gage accuracy and repeatability. Drop them enough; subject them to the rigors of manufacturing plants, or mar their measuring surface from abrasive contact — sooner or later gages need to be re-calibrated. Most quality conscious machinists and inspectors will agree on this, but how gages get calibrated, who calibrates them and where it is performed is a subject worthy of discussion. Aside from the obvious quality pitfalls of using gages that aren't accurate, avoiding calibration can become very costly in other ways as well. For example, decreased productivity, or losing contracts due to lack of measuring compliance or certification are factors few can afford to risk in today's extremely competitive environment.
