PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus (34) and method for inspecting dovetail slots (12) to ensure the proper width between adjacent parallel slot portions thereof. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes: a first pin member (38) fixed in a stationary position; a second pin member (40) having the ability to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the second pin member (40) is oriented substantially parallel to the first pin member (38); an actable member (42) functioning to automatically position the first and second pin members in a predetermined position within the dovetail slot (12) when in the second member position; a first probe (54) for measuring a distance between the first and second pin members when in the predetermined dovetail slot position; and, at least one plate member (58) forming a base to which the first pin member, the second pin member, the actable member (42), and the first probe (54) are assembled in a predetermined manner.
