It features a ratchet stop thimble for consistent gauging pressure and solid carbide measuring faces for long-term wear resistance. The instrument measures up to 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inch) with a graduation of 0.0003 inch and an accuracy of 0.000150 inch, making it suitable for high-precision inspection work. Three contact points provide stable, repeatable seating in the bore. This tool is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and quality control professionals who require close-tolerance dimensional verification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 68129 is appropriate for shop-floor and inspection-room use where small bore gauging is required. A gauge depth of 2.25 inches accommodates moderate-depth bores. The maximum extension rod length of 6.0000 inches allows measurement reach in deeper features when rods are employed. The included setting ring (0.3125 inch diameter) allows the instrument to be zeroed accurately before use. This micrometer is suited to applications in precision machining, engine rebuilding, hydraulic component inspection, and similar trades where bore geometry must be verified to tenths-level tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRatchet stop thimble delivers consistent measuring pressure for repeatable readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide measuring faces resist wear during high-volume inspection cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.000150 inch accuracy with 0.0003 inch graduation for tenths-level resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree contact points ensure stable centering in round bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGauge depth of 2.25 inches suits a broad range of bore configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips complete with case, contacts, setting ring, wrenches, and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use wherever inside-diameter measurement up to 0.3125 inch is required.

Zero the instrument using the included setting ring before each measurement session. Ensure the bore and measuring faces are clean and free of chips or coolant before gauging. Do not overtighten contact points into the bore; use the ratchet stop to apply only rated measuring pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inch (5\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000150 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThimble Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ratchet Stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Face Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extension Rod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.0000 inches (152.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting Ring Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Contact Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Setting Rings Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Counter\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Case, Contacts, Instructions, Setting Ring, Wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541262500146,"sku":"68129","price":1080.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0257f758f92e2902460f346e4ceb623b.jpg?v=1785871037","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-68129-mechanical-micrometer-5-16-inch-range","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
