Silverline Tools Metric Imperial Depth Measuring Gauge 150mm

MPN: 196600 

Barcode: 5024763029745

Overview:

Metric Imperial Depth Measuring Gauge 150mm (196600) is a handy precision tool for checking hole depth quickly and accurately. With clear metric and imperial graduations, it’s ideal for controlled drilling where depth matters—such as preparing holes for tapping, dowelling, fixings and general engineering work. The hardened stainless steel head includes a locking nut to hold your measurement in place, helping prevent the depth setting from sliding while you mark, check or repeat measurements. It’s also useful for everyday checks like measuring tyre tread depth and other workshop tasks.

Key Features

• Measures hole depths up to 150mm for accurate drilling and setup

• Metric and imperial graduations for quick reading in either scale

• Hardened stainless steel head for durability and dependable accuracy

• Locking nut holds the depth setting to prevent unwanted movement

• 15° angular markings for added reference and versatility

• Suitable for engineering, workshop and general maintenance tasks

Silverline Depth Measuring Gauge 150mm – Key FAQs:

• What is a depth measuring gauge used for?

  • It’s used to measure how deep a hole is, which is especially helpful for controlled drilling, preparing for tapping threads, dowelling and other precision fitting tasks.

• Does it measure in both metric and imperial?

  • Yes, it features clear graduations in metric and imperial, making it convenient for mixed jobs and older or imported equipment.

• What’s the maximum depth it can measure?

  • This gauge measures depths from 0mm up to 150mm, covering most common workshop drilling and fitting requirements.

• What does the locking nut do?

  • The locking nut secures the measurement so the depth setting doesn’t slide, which helps when transferring measurements or repeating the same depth across multiple holes.

• Is it suitable for engineering work?

  • Yes, it’s designed for workshop and engineering tasks where quick, accurate depth checks are needed, including drilling, tapping and general fabrication.

• Can it be used for tyre tread depth?

  • Yes, it can be used to measure tread depth and other similar depth checks, provided you can seat the head squarely and take a consistent reading.
