Does anyone know the gauge size of the steel? I'm looking for 2MM thickness. Also, is this a round bottom? Thanks!

I have cheap manual calipers which read as ~1.9mm thickness; not quite 2mm. The bottom is roundED (not flat), but not as round as the rest (in a diameter a little smaller than a CD; ~4").

I bought this wok for my son and he returned as soon as he received it. He felt it was a round wok, hammered flat, making the bottom uneven. The Wok Shop was very nice and prompt in handling the return. My son went to a different site and purchased a spun steel flat bottomed wok, which he very happy with. FYI. I have had my spun steel flat bottom wok over 40 years. Be sure you get a Spun Steel not stainless steel. I hope this is helpful.

I just put the micrometer on some of the cleanest castings that I had sitting around. I was quite surprised to find that they are not round. The smallest dimension on most of them is .356 and the largest varies between .357 and .358. I assume that this out of round condition goes away they are put through a sizing die. All the measurements were made at the base.

I can't tell you the gauge, but it's got a nice thick bottom and the whole thing is of good quality. Nothing flimsy. Reinforced handles on pot are reinforced and riveted. Lid also riveted. Everything is nicely ground w no rough edges. I bought this a couple of years ago i'm thinking? I use it a lot and even cook on top of the woodstove with it. Love it. No problems. It was a good buy. It is China made, but not cheap.

I'm guessing that that thickness is about 1/8" I don't know the gauge steel, but they are very sturdy and can be bent with a plier.

the sink is 9" deep and 18 gauge. there is additional product information and descriptions by clicking "see more product details". the sink scratches easily so we ordered a ss bottom grid for protection.

It;s a medium gauge, like 14 0r 16. The model by the same company with the long wooden handle and the short wooden helper handle (classic home wok) has a thick pad of steel on the bottom that holds heat very well (and that this pow wok lacks), and I highly recommend it over this all metal pow style wok (and it's cheaper too). I've owned and seasoned and worked with both, and the more classic wooden handle is a better wok with its heat retaining thicker padded bottom.

First of all, it is not cast iton. It is medium carbon rolled steel. It is about 7/32 nds thick. It works for me. I would prefer it to be thicker. But, I only cook a few thousands of pancakes, 100's of sausage patties and bacon each year. So, it works okay for me. I have 4 of them.

The bottom appears the same thickness as the sides. I just measured the side wall with my caliper at it is just under 4mm thick. In my opinion this is pretty good quality.

What is medium gauge? That isn't even a measurement. Go buy a little metal disc that has slots of of increasing size around the perimeter. Each slot will have a corresponding set of sizes, one being gauge and the other actual thickness in thousandths of an inch. Now that you have this number you can follow the manufactures literature on if it can punch through the metal you have. Don't be ignorant....GET EDUCATED and be a useful individual.

Not sure I understand the question but this is a very high quality sink. Heavy gauge steel is nice and it is a very quiet sink. Doesn't have that clangy sound that some of the cheaper, thinner stainless sinks have.

You are correct. The item is NOT 8mm thick, as falsely described in the item listing. I don't have a device for measuring nils, so I cannot confirm the exact thickness, but it is very thin.

The bottom of mine says 6.00T/5.7L which may be another way to say 18/10 stainless steel. Mine is stamped stainless steel as well. I LOVE mine and would recommend it to anyone. It is very well made and is beautiful! Perfect for soups, pasta, corn.

I am not sure because have no clue how thick 16 gauge steel is but i bought and used it on duct work to cut access holes for duct cleaning. Much of the duct work i cut was very old and thick and never i had a problem. I highly recommend you use a drill with an actual electric plug. Cordless drills didnt work well for me.

Thank you for your interest in this item. To answer your question, the thickness is 18 gauge. -Gavin ivgStores Customer Service

It is a nice thickness (out of town at the moment) 8 mm or more, nicely beveled. My problems came with delivery (to the curb, not into my house or garage!) And that hardware was missing when I assembled it.
