Spi 17-608-1 Electronic Depth Gage 0-6 in Stainless

Product Description

The SPI 17-608-1 is an electronic depth gage with a measurement range of 0 to 6 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches, designed for precise depth measurement in machining, fabrication, and inspection environments. It delivers an accuracy of 0.001 inches and features a 4-inch stainless steel base for stable seating across a workpiece surface. Built to IP54 water resistance standards, this gage handles light coolant exposure and shop-floor conditions. SPC and USB data output capability allows direct integration with statistical process control software or a PC for measurement logging and quality documentation. It ships with a CR2032 battery and an included hook for stepped surface measurement.

The 17-608-1 is suited for use in precision machining shops, tool rooms, quality control departments, and general metalworking environments where repeatable depth measurements are required. The 4-inch base length provides broad contact across flat reference surfaces, reducing tilt error during measurement. The digital readout eliminates parallax error common with analog depth micrometers. This gage is appropriate for both production floor checks and bench inspection work.

Installation Notes

Machinists and quality technicians handle installation and calibration of precision gages. Before use, ensure the reference surface and base are clean and free of burrs or debris that could affect zero-setting accuracy. Zero the gage on a known flat reference surface before taking measurements. Consult the manufacturer documentation for SPC or USB output wiring and software configuration procedures.
