Tracking your machine component as it moves along a rotating threaded shaft, such as a spindle or lead screw, these indicators help you adjust machinery with speed and precision. They save time and prevent errors on process lines that you constantly adapt to suit different products, such as packaging lines.
Use the display number as either a reference point or as a true measure of distance. To measure distance, match the indicator’s count per revolution to your lead screw’s threads per inch or thread pitch.
Choose between indicators that count up when your lead screw rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.
Indicators with a stainless steel insert resist corrosion better than indicators with a black-oxide insert, making them better in humid locations.
Add shaft locking clamps to keep indicators in place and prevent vibration from shifting them.
Add shaft reducer bushings to adapt indicators to fit small diameter shafts.

Starrett Depth Gauges
Reach deep into small holes and slots for precise depth measurements. This gauge has a rod to measures the depth of recesses where the blade won’t fit. The blade has a hook which grabs the edge of an object for easy alignment. Markings are etched for wear resistance.

Mitutoyo Vernier Depth Gauges
These gauges have two scales for fine adjusting—a main scale and a sliding vernier scale. The vernier scale takes the space between graduation marks on the main scale and divides them into smaller increments for an accurate depth reading. Use the adjustment screw on the vernier scale for fine tuning. Designed for durability, these analog gauges are good for measuring the depth of small holes and slots in machine shops where they’ll get frequent use. They are often used to set the cutting depth for milling tools and counterbores.
Gauges with a hook end can measure the depth of lips, grooves, and other projected or recessed features that a gauge with a straight end could not access.

Dial Height Gauges
The durable, analog design of these gauges holds up in machine and toolmaking shops where you regularly need to measure and mark material before cutting. Because they’re analog, they’re best when you don’t need to transfer data. In addition to their dial, they have two mechanical counters that display measurements—one counts up, the other counts down. Twist the hand wheel to adjust the height up and down the column. For repeat marking, set the attached scriber at a specific height. Use the zero-set button to start measuring at any point.
