Mitutoyo 050083-10 Caliper Base with Depth Rod

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 050083-10 is a caliper base accessory designed for use with calipers that have a depth bar. The base includes a depth rod, allowing the caliper to function as a depth gauge on flat reference surfaces. Machined to precise tolerances, this base provides a stable platform that extends the measurement capability of compatible calipers. It is a single-piece component suited for metrology benches, machine shops, and quality control environments. Dimensional technicians, machinists, and QC inspectors are the typical end users.

This caliper base is intended for use with calipers equipped with a depth bar, converting the caliper into a depth measurement tool by providing a flat, stable reference base. The included depth rod interfaces directly with the caliper depth bar, enabling measurement of holes, slots, steps, and recesses. The compact footprint measures 3.5 inches in length, 1.5 inches in height, and 1 inch in width, making it appropriate for bench-top inspection tasks in both light manufacturing and precision measurement applications.
