Mitutoyo 527-111 Vernier Depth Gage 0-6 Inch Stainless

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 527-111 is a vernier depth gage designed for precise depth, step, and shoulder measurements in machining, fabrication, and inspection applications. It reads to a graduation of 0.001 inch with an accuracy of 0.001 inch, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where reliable, repeatable readings are required. The gage is constructed from stainless steel with a satin chrome coating that resists corrosion and reduces glare on the scale for easier reading. The 4-inch base provides stable contact across the workpiece surface, and the 260 mm rule delivers a full 0 to 6 inch measurement range. Machinists, tool and die workers, and precision inspectors are the typical users of this instrument.

The 527-111 is used in shop-floor and inspection-room environments where manual vernier reading is preferred or required. It suits measurements of blind holes, slots, recesses, and counterbores on metal, plastic, and composite workpieces. The 4-inch base length distributes contact evenly across wider surfaces, minimizing rocking error. This gage is commonly found in job shops, production facilities, and quality labs that use manual measurement tools alongside or instead of digital instruments.

Key Features

• 0 to 6 inch measurement range covers a wide variety of depth measurement tasks
• 0.001 inch graduation and 0.001 inch accuracy support close-tolerance inspection work
• Stainless steel construction with satin chrome coating resists corrosion and reduces scale glare
• 4-inch base length minimizes rocking error on wider workpiece surfaces
• 260 mm rule length provides full-range reach without extension blades
• No hook included — rule slides directly for clean depth measurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard vernier depth gage for general machining and inspection use. No specific system or equipment compatibility data was provided with this product.

Installation Notes

Vernier depth gages require no installation but should be zeroed and verified against a known reference surface before use. Handle the stainless steel rule and base carefully to avoid nicks or burrs that can affect reading accuracy. Store the gage in its case when not in use to protect the graduated rule from damage. Calibration and periodic verification against traceable standards are recommended to maintain measurement integrity.
