The dial provides precise and easily readable measurements with inch graduations in black and metric graduations in red. The unit has a thumb roll and a positive locking screw for quick and accurate measurements. It is made of hardened steel for accurate measurements and has a raised sliding surface for the dial to prevent wear of the gauge and graduation marks. The unit has a base 4" long. The gauge conforms to Federal Accuracy specifications. The shipping weight of this gauge is 1.05 lb. and it comes with a fitted case. Depth gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

Depth gauges are precision measuring instruments used to determine the depth of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot. These gauges often take the form of sliders that travel on a measuring beam or rods, are moved to position by hand, and then adjusted with a calibrated screw. The base of the gauge rests at the top of the shape whose recession is to be measured, while the beam or rods extend to the bottom of the recession to determine the measurement. Gauge position is read from a graduated scale, dial, counters, or an electronic display.

The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.
