Starrett 53114 Dial Thickness Gage 0-0.375 in 0.001 Grad

Product Description

The STARRETT 53114 is a dial thickness gage designed for precise sheet and material thickness measurement in shop, field, and inspection applications. It reads from 0 to 0.375 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inches, giving technicians and tradespeople reliable, repeatable readings without the need for calipers or micrometers in tight-access situations. The chrome-plated case houses a 1.625-inch dial with a 0-100 dial reading and a small count hand for quick reference. An unbreakable crystal dial cover protects the face from job-site conditions. The finger-slide operating mechanism and compact pocket size make it well suited for one-handed use on the bench or in the field.

This gage is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and maintenance professionals to verify gasket thickness, sheet metal stock, shim stock, and similar flat material dimensions. The 0.5-inch throat depth accommodates typical stock thicknesses encountered in light fabrication and mechanical service work. Its flat anvil tips and flat contact diameter of 0.25 inches (6.3 mm) suit parallel, flat-faced workpieces. The handy pocket gage format fits a shirt pocket or tool bag for quick access on multi-point inspections.

Installation Notes

This gage requires no installation; it is a handheld inspection instrument. Before use, verify zero calibration by closing the anvils on a known reference and adjusting the bezel if needed. Keep the contact faces clean and free of debris to maintain measurement accuracy. Store in a protective case away from impact and extreme temperatures when not in use.
