Spi 13-153-2 Dial Thickness Gage 0-1 Inch 0.001 Grad

Product Description

The SPI 13-153-2 is a dial thickness gage designed for fast, accurate measurement of material thickness in inspection and quality-control applications. It reads from 0 to 1 inch with a graduation of 0.001 inch, making it suitable for verifying sheet stock, gaskets, shims, and similar workpieces. The gage features a stainless steel spindle and a flat anvil tip. A retractable handle allows single-handed operation, keeping the workflow efficient when running through high volumes of parts. The 2-1/4 inch dial face is large enough for quick visual reads without magnification. Machinists, inspectors, and fabricators rely on this type of gage for go/no-go checks and incoming material verification.

This gage fits a wide range of inspection tasks in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and manufacturing QC lines. The 1-1/8 inch throat depth accommodates a variety of workpiece profiles. Its single-handed, retractable-handle design makes it practical for repetitive inspection cycles where speed and consistency matter. It is appropriate for use on flat, parallel surfaces where a dial-type readout is preferred over a micrometer or digital indicator setup.

Key Features

• Measurement range of 0 to 1 inch with 0.001 inch graduation for precise thickness readings
• Flat anvil tip provides stable, consistent contact on flat and parallel surfaces
• Stainless steel spindle resists corrosion and wear in shop environments
• Retractable handle enables single-handed operation for efficient repetitive inspection
• 2-1/4 inch dial diameter allows quick visual reads at a glance
• 1-1/8 inch throat depth accommodates a range of workpiece sizes and profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial thickness gage suitable for inspection of flat, parallel materials such as sheet metal, gaskets, shims, and similar stock in machine shop and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Before use, zero the gage on a known flat reference surface or gage block to confirm calibration. Clean both the anvil and spindle contact faces before each use to prevent debris from introducing measurement error. Handle the dial face carefully to avoid impact damage to the internal gear train. Periodic calibration against certified gage blocks is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy.
