Rule Depth Gage

A Rule Depth Gage is a measuring tool used by craftsmen in the field of woodworking, metalworking, and other precision industries. It is a device that allows for accurate measurement of the depth of a hole, groove, or any other recessed area.

The Rule Depth Gage typically consists of a ruler or scale with markings in inches or millimeters, and a sliding depth rod or blade that can be adjusted to the desired depth. The depth rod is usually attached to the ruler and can be locked in place once the desired measurement is achieved.

To use a Rule Depth Gage, the craftsman would place the ruler on the surface adjacent to the recessed area and slide the depth rod down until it touches the bottom of the recess. The measurement can then be read off the ruler, providing an accurate depth reading.

This tool is commonly used in various applications such as measuring the depth of holes for screws or bolts, checking the depth of grooves for woodworking joints, or determining the depth of channels for electrical wiring.

Overall, the Rule Depth Gage is a valuable tool for craftsmen who require precise depth measurements in their work.
