Vernier Depth Gage

A Vernier Depth Gage is a measuring tool used by craftsmen for precise depth measurements. It is part of the supply class Measuring Tools and falls under the supply group Measuring Tools.

The Vernier Depth Gage consists of a main scale and a sliding Vernier scale. The main scale is fixed and is marked with graduations that represent units of measurement, such as inches or millimeters. The Vernier scale slides along the main scale and has finer graduations that allow for more accurate measurements.

To use a Vernier Depth Gage, you would place the main scale against the surface you want to measure the depth of. Then, you would slide the Vernier scale until its zero mark aligns with the main scale. The measurement is determined by reading the value on the Vernier scale that aligns with a mark on the main scale.

Vernier Depth Gages are commonly used in various industries, such as woodworking, metalworking, and engineering, where precise depth measurements are required. They are essential tools for craftsmen who need to accurately measure the depth of holes, recesses, or other features in their workpieces.
