Find the Right Depth Gage for Every Measurement

Different workpieces call for different measurement ranges, configurations, and features. Choosing a vernier depth gage that matches the feature makes it easier to take consistent readings across routine inspection tasks.

  1. Everyday Depth Measurement: A vernier depth gage 0-6 provides a practical range for checking common holes, slots, recesses, and smaller components.
  2. Greater Measuring Reach: A vernier depth gage 0-12 gives machinists additional capacity when standard-range instruments cannot reach deeper features.
  3. Metric Inspection: A metric vernier depth gage is suited to applications where workpiece dimensions and technical drawings are specified in millimeters.
  4. Durable Construction: A stainless steel vernier depth gage offers a robust option for frequent use in machining, inspection, and toolroom environments.
  5. Controlled Positioning: A vernier depth gage with fine adjustment provides additional control when positioning the measuring element for precise depth readings.
  6. Trusted Manufacturer: A Mitutoyo vernier depth gage combines the familiar mechanical measurement method with the precision-focused manufacturing associated with an established measuring-tool brand.
  7. Professional Mechanical Measurement: A Starrett vernier depth gage provides another established option for machinists and inspection professionals.

Match the Measurement: Choosing a Gage That Fits the Feature

The right vernier depth gage depends on more than measurement range. Consider the feature's accessibility, required measuring depth, unit system, and the level of positioning control needed for the application.

  1. Feature Accessibility: Recessed or difficult-to-reach features may benefit from a specialized hook-style configuration.
  2. Measurement Capacity: Match the range to the deepest feature you regularly inspect rather than choosing based only on the most common measurement.
  3. Measurement Units: Select an inch or metric configuration that aligns with your drawings and inspection documentation.
  4. Adjustment Needs: Fine adjustment can provide more controlled positioning when precise contact is important.
  5. Work Environment: Consider durable construction when the instrument will see frequent use in a busy machining or inspection environment.
