Mitutoyo 050084-10 Caliper Base with Depth Rod

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 050084-10 is a caliper base accessory designed for use with calipers that feature a depth bar. The base provides a stable reference platform that allows a depth bar caliper to function as a depth gauge, extending measurement capability without requiring a separate dedicated instrument. The included depth rod mounts through the base to read depth measurements directly from the caliper scale. This component is used by machinists, metrology technicians, and precision measurement professionals who need reliable, repeatable depth measurement in a shop or inspection environment.

This base is suited for bench-top and layout applications where a standard depth bar caliper needs a flat, stable footing to take accurate depth readings. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, quality control settings, and fabrication environments. The unit ships as a single piece and includes the depth rod, making it a ready-to-install accessory for compatible Mitutoyo calipers equipped with a depth bar.

Key Features

• Provides stable base platform for depth bar calipers to perform depth measurement
• Includes depth rod — no additional components required for assembly
• Compact footprint: 5.5 inches long, 2 inches tall, 1 inch wide
• Overall base length of 100 millimeters (approximately 3.94 inches)
• Single-piece construction for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with calipers that feature a depth bar. Verify that the caliper depth bar diameter and length are compatible with the 050084-10 base and included depth rod before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology or machine shop personnel familiar with caliper accessories. Before attaching the base, ensure the caliper jaws are closed and the depth bar is fully retracted to avoid damage during assembly. Follow the caliper manufacturer guidelines for securing the depth rod to the depth bar. Handle the contact surfaces of the base carefully to avoid nicks or scratches that could affect measurement accuracy.
