Starrett 52705 Dial Depth Gage 0-0.5 in White Dial

Product Description

The STARRETT 52705 is a dial depth gage designed for precise depth measurement in machining, inspection, and layout work. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 0.5 inches with a fine graduation of 0.0005 inches, making it suitable for applications where tight tolerances must be verified quickly and reliably. The white dial face provides high contrast for easy reading. The base is ground and hardened for flatness and durability, ensuring consistent contact with the reference surface. Machinists, tool and die makers, and quality control technicians install and use this gage as part of standard shop-floor measurement practice.

The 52705 is used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and inspection departments for measuring slot depths, shoulder depths, counterbore depths, and similar features. The 2.5-inch base length provides stable registration across typical workpiece surfaces. Its direct-reading dial eliminates interpolation and speeds up repetitive measurements. The included case protects the gage during storage and transport between workstations or job sites.

Key Features

• 0 to 0.5 inch measurement range with 0.0005 inch graduation for fine resolution
• 2.5 inch ground and hardened base for flat, stable contact
• White dial face with direct-reading scale for fast, clear readings
• Hardened construction for long-term durability in shop environments
• Includes protective case for storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a standard dial depth gage for general precision measurement applications in machining and inspection environments where a 0 to 0.5 inch range and 0.0005 inch graduation are appropriate.

Installation Notes

Dial depth gages require no permanent installation. Before use, zero the gage on a known flat reference surface. Keep the base and spindle clean and free of chips or debris that could affect accuracy. Periodically verify calibration against a reference standard to maintain measurement integrity.
