1. A method for gauging a thread produced in at least two working steps in a workpiece, comprising the following method steps:
a) gauging at least one preliminary thread, produced in at least one first working step by removing material from the workpiece and having a preliminary thread profile, by means of at least one preliminary thread gauge adapted to the preliminary thread profile,
b) gauging a final thread, reformed in at least one second working step by plastic pressing-in of the material of the workpiece at least in a section of the preliminary thread profile by means of at least one thread-forming profile and having a final thread profile, by means of at least one final-thread gauge adapted to the final thread profile.
