A ball bar gauge for evaluating the performance of coordinate measuring machines is disclosed. The gauge consists of a rigid bar having a magnetic chuck at each end. Each magnetic chuck consists of a permanent magnet and six magnetic pole pieces surrounded by a non-magnetic housing. The bar is used with two precision tooling balls which are placed in the chucks at each end of the rod. In each chuck three of the pole pieces are slightly longer than the other three pole pieces to provide a stable three-point contact seat for the associated ball.
