What started as a machine shop specializing in the manufacture of simple inspection gages and subcontract machining, “The Dorsey Gage Company,” founded in 1955, now continues in its third generation as Dorsey Metrology International. Designated as a Women-Owned Business by WBENC, Dorsey prides itself on outstanding customer relations, including the highest quality products, service, and support.

With an impressive selection of hand-held and bench-top dimensional measurement instruments, Dorsey addresses a wide range of measurement applications—many with alternative approaches to achieve the same purpose, as well as unique items not available elsewhere. In addition to the Dorsey / Standard dial bore gages and snap gages, which are the benchmark for gage inspection in America, all our products are designed with superior features. All these instruments can be used with the Dorsey family of “High Amplification” and “Traditional” dial indicators or digital indicating devices.

Dorsey has built its reputation as a leader in the field of large-component dimensional measurement. Our expertise brings together the largest selection of measurement movements, frame configurations, sizes, materials, contact points, rests, and accessories—all with the knowledge of how to apply them to any large-part inspection requirement.

In the optical field, Dorsey is one of the few remaining manufacturers of domestically produced optical comparators. Our optical comparators are built on the foundation of rigidity and accuracy, with tightened manufacturing tolerances to maintain uncompensated absolute inherent accuracy.

As further commitment to the quality of our products and services, Dorsey Metrology Calibration Laboratory is accredited by A2LA to ISO 17025 General Requirements for Competence of Testing and Calibration. This accreditation has allowed Dorsey to remain highly competitive in the ever-changing manufacturing sector and reinforces confidence in the excellence of our products.

Over our 70-year history, Dorsey has continuously worked to improve and develop our products. We have achieved success by modernizing and streamlining industry standards to create more robust products, including adding carbon fiber to our lineup.

As an organization, we value our reputation as a problem solver and are ready to assist with any application—standard or special. We look forward to attending The Quality Show at the Music City Center in Nashville. We hope you visit us in Booth #450 and see how we've been Precision Problem Solving for 70 years.
